SOCCER Tips, Trick and Guide

Before you can learn some really awesome soccer moves, you need to get the basic ones down first. Learning the basics is not hard but as with anything it does take practice. It is vital that you learn the moves laid out below as they will help you to master the more advanced ones. Below are three basic soccer moves that everyone needs to learn first.

Our first move we are going to learn is dribbling. Yes, it is not a flashy move but it is very important none the less. Many argue, for good reason, that dribbling is the foundation of your game. Dribbling boils down to having the ability to move a ball up and down or anywhere on the field in a controlled manner. In essence, dribbling utilizes the left and right foot to move the soccer ball anywhere on the field in a stable and controlled manner. Learning to dribble can be done by tapping, shoving or pushing the ball with the inside, sole or outside of your feet. Before you commence practicing your dribbling skills, you first need to get acquainted with the ball. The best way to do this is to simply juggle a soccer ball with both feet. When you juggle the ball, you develop a feel for the ball along with coordination that will help you pick up other moves more quickly in the future.

Our next move is one that is called passing. There are really only two types of passing, the push or short pass and the long pass. Having the ability to correctly pass the ball gives a team and player the ability to move the ball anywhere on the field while keeping it away from the opposing team. As far as accuracy is concerned, the push pass is better than the long pass. The push pass uses the inside and middle portions of either foot. In essence, you will be striking the ball with the middle inside portion of the foot that you want to pass with. Your other foot will be used to help aim the pass by being pointed in the direction you want the ball to go and planted next to the ball itself. You will follow this same technique when performing a long pass, only you'll strike the ball a little harder. It is vitally important to always keep your focus on the ball. This will help tremendously in the accuracy of the pass.

Our final move is the actual shot. Arguably, accuracy is the most important aspect when taking a shot on goal. Most of us can kick a ball hard, but the select few who can do it accurately stand out amongst us. Using the instruction on passing the ball from above, you need to plant your foot that is not striking the ball next to the ball and pointing in the direction you want it to end up. The foot that actually kicks the ball needs to be done so with the inside and on an angle to the foot. Look down at your foot and picture it as a right angle. For example, the bottom of your foot would be the zero degree axis and the top would be the ninety degree axis. When you strike the ball you want to do so in the middle of 0 and 90 degrees or at the 45 degree mark. By kicking with this portion of the foot you will be able to get the most power and accuracy. You must always remember to keep your eye on the ball so it will be accurate as well.

So that's it, 3 sure fire soccer moves to build a solid foundation around. Upon mastering these moves, you can then move on to learn those really awesome soccer moves that you desire. You must always continue to practice these moves and others throughout your career. Remember, practice makes perfect.
