[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1179671, member: 55747"] Bien nene!! Felicitaciones. Cardio is king! THE #1 skill. Regarding the practicing thingie, start with the basics. Passing; I assume you don't have a practice partner (if you do, just trot and pass the ball to each other, endlessly). You'll need a wall. Draw a circle, aim and shoot. That's it. First normal, then spiral. Then from further away. Then walking. Then trotting, Then running. Remember, inside arm sets the direction, outer arm spins. Also, when you train with other people you do not aim at the player (unless he is standing). You aim at where he is going to be. This is very, very important. There is a special type of ball for this (see pic below). Doesnt affect the passing that much and makes the bouncing back from the wall much easier and predictable. You dont need it really, but just for you to know what is possible. Try kicking the ball high and catching (regular ball, not the one below!). If that seems to easy kick higher and grabthe ball with your feet off the ground. When they teach you how to tackle at training, listen carefully. Technique is key. Congrats again and best of luck.
