[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For coaches and/or seasoned soccer parents:

Are there certain soccer moves (skills) that are most effective to use during games for U13 above older?[/quote]

You have to have a good touch meaning, when you receive the ball, your touch puts the ball where you want it...not 5 yards in front of you.  You need to receive out of the air and with every part of your foot. You need to be able to pass with both feet. You need to be able shoot with both feet...fine if one is stronger for free kicks and penalties, etc., As far as dribbling "moves" go, you can't beat a fake shot then cruyff.  And lots of body feints. I mean someone can go on and on I'm sure but get your kid a kick wall and have her pound that thing and work on her touch.  Have her juggle and pop that ball up in the air and use different parts of her body to settle it.  There are tons of 1v1 dribbling moves. Have her find 2 or 3 and have her master them. This is for U13 and U14 at least.  Older kids will need other skills mastered by then.[/quote]

This is good advice.  In my DD’s GA/ECNL older age group, the teams that lose are the teams whose players have poor first touches.  [/quote]
