Going from NEVER playing to trying out for a high school team will be tough.  First be prepared not to make the team. Don't want to discourage you but so many of the girls trying out have played for years and years and have hundreds of hours touching a ball. I disagree with spending a bunch of time learning positions. You should spend most of your time dribbling the ball and getting good ball control. Not once a week, but every day twice a day. You have a bunch of time to make up. Watching soccer matches on TV will also help. You might have the most knowledge on the team about positions and roles, but if you can't handle a ball, you will stand out like a sore thumb. Great ambition and I hope you put the effort in. You can also try Footy4kids, google it.  Current time is 01:07 pm
