Don't Overlook These Basics Before Learning Awesome Soccer Moves

Before you can learn some really awesome soccer moves, you need to get the basic ones down first.  The basic moves are not hard to learn but you will need to practice a bit.  It is important to master the following moves in order to aid in learning more advanced ones.  The following are 3 basic moves that you will need to learn first.The first move is called dribbling.  Dribbling is one of the most important moves you can learn in soccer.  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.  All dribbling is, is the ability of a player to move the ball back and forth in a controlled manner from the left foot to the right foot while progressing forward.  You can learn to dribble by pushing, tapping or shoving the ball with the sole, inside or outside of the foot.  What I recommend before starting out practicing dribbling is to first get comfortable with the ball.  The easiest and best way to get comfortable with the ball is to simply juggle it with both feet.  By juggling the ball, you will build up coordination and begin to get a good feel and sense of the ball which will help in all moves you attempt to learn 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.  The push pass is the most accurate because it takes less field to complete.  To execute the push pass, you need to use the inside of the foot and kick the ball with the middle portion of your foot.  The foot that is not kicking the ball needs to be planted next to the ball and pointed in the direction you are wanting to pass it.  The same goes for the long pass.  It is important to keep your eyes on the ball and all times.  This aids in the accuracy of the pass.The final move is the shot.  When taking a  shot on goal, accuracy is the most important.  Anyone can kick a ball hard but only a few can kick a ball hard and have it go exactly where they want it to.  Taking the instruction from above on passing, the foot that is not striking the ball is planted next to the ball and pointed in the direction you want the ball to go.  When striking the ball you need to do so with the inside and angeled portion of your in sole.  Picture the side of your foot as an 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.  As long as you keep practicing, you'll continue to grow as a player.  You know how the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”, well in soccer this couldn't be more accurate.  If you want to learn more moves, the different positions and their functions and additional training just see my bio below.
