neral soccer kicks, the volleys kick is a type of kick that will require some strategic thinking. These kicks are done while the ball is off of the ground. This means that a person must practice balancing techniques. Furthermore, it is important to make certain that you are the right distance from the soccer ball when attempting a volley kick.

A very important aspect of kid's soccer is learning how to control the ball effectively. Whether it is passed on the ground or in the air, there are specific soccer tactics you can use in order to receive and keep the ball in your possession. This act is commonly known as "trapping," and is typically performed when a player is attempting to slow down the speed of a ball before making the next touch. When trapping the ball, there are numerous parts of your body you can use depending on the situation. Here are four of my favorite to get you started. The most important to teach first when coaching soccer for kids is the foot trap. This is most likely to be used when the ball is passed on the ground...

Scientists who've been warning world leaders of the consequences of carbon emissions and deforestation for years are sitting back with concerned I-told-you-so expressions on their faces. The point of no return is almost upon us, but there's still time for action. Recycling is one of the most important things that we as individuals can do and if you think that there are some...

Ever notice all the lack of positivity around you? My oldest son had try-outs for competitive soccer these past two weekends. It was in a dome, an inside field, as there is lots of snow outside and playing on a soccer field is not an option. It is well made with soccer fields surrounded by a track field inside a huge dome. The parents have to stay on the other side of the track field and not come onto or even close to the soccer field. And all I heard for the past two weekends around me was how people were tired of waiting while they play. It was hard on the back to sit where there is no support for the back and hard on the legs to stand up. The try-outs were just an hour and a half. For the most...

“The conditions you need to be a good goalkeeper are exactly the same conditions you need to be a good Architect. You must have a very good connection, in both professions, with time and space.” - Eduardo Chillida (Spanish sculpture, considered one of the greatest artists of the 2nd half of the 20th c., 1924-2002) The position of goalkeeper in a team is one of the most demanding emplacements in all sports. The goal keeper must be agile, sharp, flexible, energetic, enthusiastic, he has t have stamina, decisive alongwith other skills; the quickness, the toughness, correct mental attitude, determination, self belief, all combine to create a great keeper.

There is a maxim that states that 'good is the enemy of great'. However, having a good goalkeeper is surely a great advantage. All great goalkeepers were once good. They had a range of mental, physical and technical attributes that later allowed them to go beyond 'good' goalkeeping. As arguably the most demanding specialist position on a soccer team, a goalkeeper relies on myriad skills. 1) Basic soccer skills Although goalkeepers can use their hands, they may not always be willing and able to do so in a game situation. Passing the ball, heading the ball, punting the ball and good ball control are some basic soccer skills that a good goalkeeper finds necessary to have. 2) Ball handling Goalkeepers...

Asthma need not be a life limiting condition, neither in terms of longevity nor in terms of involvement. In the past, it was often the case that asthmatic children were labeled 'sickly' and did not participate in exercise. Now, however, exercise is thought to be one of the best ways of controlling asthma long-term. Many celebrities have been very open about their asthma, and others are coming forward all the time to help de-mystify it and to help others. The fact that Theodore Roosevelt had asthma did not stop him becoming president of the USA. It is said that he recovered from asthma through exercise. John F Kennedy was also an asthma sufferer, with his worst trigger being animals. There have been...

One of the biggest challenges that young soccer players face is the issue of inner dialogue or self talk. By this I mean the inner narrative that goes through players had unconsciously or somewhat consciously as the game unfolds in front of them. A lot of things go into what a player here since I better head. Depending on their background and upbringing and culture and the nature of your coaching, they can hear very different things going on and this will have an important impact on how they play the game and how they experience the game as they continue to develop. If your coaching style is aggressive and judgmental and directed towards the person, it would not be surprising for the player self...

Many of us know our young soccer players' feet grow quickly. This makes outfitting the family (kiddies, teens and grown-up kids) with new soccer shoes-a bit expensive. We are not just talking once a year, but it many cases every season (Fall to Indoor to Spring to Fall). I strongly suggest parents refuse to buy into the brand name marketing trap-our kids must have the most expensive soccer cleats available. After all, you're paying the extra costs of the big name companies to private label and market their brands. Do you really think they are manufacturing their own shoes? Come on, it's a global economy and I'm telling you they are all having their soccer shoes made by sweatshops in India and China...

One might think this information is for the "little kids" or "inexperienced coaches", but I hope to drive home a point that all will learn from, soccer technical training often ends too early. Let me start by going to the "top" so I don't lose many of you that think technical training doesn't apply to advanced players. I will start with two examples, one with a professional player and the second a college bound player. It goes all the way to the top.

Mac is now a professional player with the MLS. I spent a couple...

Individual soccer training is crucial to developing skill in young players. If we relate to how we improve at anything it is purely by repeating the action in the form of practice over and over again. Therefore soccer training twice a week and a game on a week end is not enough to fully develop the potential of young soccer players. As with any skill if you don't use it you lose. The idea here is to practice on your own using drills and techniques that lend themselves to individual soccer training. OK so you can't train every day with your team but you can devote extra time to training yourself. I can speak through personal experience here. I was lucky enough to be in a position to be able to train...

Many sports that are popular in the United States are those that celebrate larger than life athletes. Sports like, football, basketball and baseball. Not to mention Nascar (if you consider it a sport). Athletes that are not representative of the average man. Many times these athletes are men that are bigger, stronger, and faster than any average person can ever dream of being. Although, these athletes fill our minds with the unbelievable and the spectacular they lack the ability to do something else. They lack the ability to give hope to the regular guy; the guy who is not built like a freight train or who can run faster than a cheetah. This is where soccer is so much different and why it is likely...
