Thirteenth Step posted:What stretches/warmup routine do you guys have? I do a few token stretches before a game but nothing major, I figured a proper warmup routine will stop me from feeling like poo poo during and after. A quick walk from the parking lot and on to the pitch usually.

Just scored a loving dream goal. I might as well retire now, I'll never top that in a million years. I played up front alone, ran behind the defenders and got a long through ball ahead of me. The goalkeeper came out of the box and I just reached the ball with my left foot to control it and take it past him before I smashed it right in The Upper 90 with my right foot like a loving rocket from 18 meters or so. It might have been the best goal scored in the history of the game. Shame it was only practice and we can't celebrate goals there but I did a little fistpump at least.

Just played 60 minutes on a full pitch for the first time in a few years. It felt good. Playing as a full back is so much more fun when there's a lot of space available.

I've got these bad boys. Best boots I've ever had, except for my old Copas obviously. Great on artificial grass in all sorts of conditions.

Get proper gloves and just practice at stopping shots. Youre doing it wrong if your hand hurts.

That depends. Is this a team where you play competetive football or do you just play a bit for fun?

Thirteenth Step posted:It annoys me when these chavs rock up and smoke like 50 cigarettes before the game and they manage to keep running till the end. Meanwhile I eat well, don't smoke, go gym 3 times a week, have an active job but yet I'm still losing out Probably what the Manchester United players says to eachother after drawing with Fulham to stay on topic, i make sure to get some carbs a few hours before and have good meals through out the day. my warmup is bicycling for fifteen minutes to the pitch. works great, i'm a fantastic player.

If you're playing against Bad Defenders try to create space by attempting to draw defenders out of position, which will give your left back a lot of space out to run in and you a chance to drift in centrally with your stronger foot if you've got the ball. In defence be sure to support the left back, don't let him get outrunned or outnumbered and don't get caught ballwatching.

Bobby Digital posted:In your guys' experience, what have you noticed is the rarest skill among people you play with? Intelligence and composure. The ability to solve problems, read situations, tactical understand and be able to perform under pressure is the rarest skill imo. Even if you don't have good technique the ability to perform within your means is incredibly important. Fitness is also extremely important, to be able to do all this combined with the the physical part, but I strongly believe the mental aspect is maybe the most important for a player.

If you're just getting into football then I can't imagine how hard 11v11 must be. Its not good for your own development since it encourages to take the easiest options (hoof it up to the big lad or just pass it to someone better instead of taking chances on your own) and it's mostly about being fit enough to run around a whole match at that level. Try playing on a 7v7 pitch or even 5 a side. It forces you to think quicker, to use your technique and puts you in more situations where you're directly up against one or more opponents. And most importantly its a lot more fun, it's lot faster and lets you concentrate on football rather than managing your fitness.

Charlotte Hornets posted:Going into a high tempo 7v7 or 5 a side for someone who has played 2 weeks will be...interesting. Nothing wrong with the 11 imo - more space, more time. Any game time is good time as Vinestalk said but imo the best way to develop technical and tactical skills as a beginner is on a smaller pitch with fewer players. It's always seemed more encouraging for me to play like that, you're always involved and you can't hide like it's easy to do on a full pitch when you're tired and low on confidence. Anyway, just get out and play. It's a brilliant feeling as you start getting better and manage to pull things off, score a few goals and other cool stuff. Toe pokes owns btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwmTy3SAMzk
