At least they are here (small town MN) They are less competitive at that young of an age and focus more on team play, rules of the game, and having fun. My son joined last summer when he was six and loved it, my husband and I both coached and we had a great time as well and we got to be involved in something that our son really liked, it was great for our family. http://www.manhattankickers.com I found this website, hope it helps.

Well, if you are, then read on and take a look at some of the examples listed below. But remember, don’t be afraid to make modifications to your regimen. Each player is different! And if you have questions, consult a coach or trainer. Good luck! You can modify this schedule to what fits you best, as long as you incorporate all of these elements frequently. But it’s a good idea to avoid strength training your legs every day so that they have a chance to recover and rebuild the muscle fibers. On the days you’re not doing plyometrics, you can still weight train, but focus on the upper body. As for what and how much to work, try this workout, three sets each. Day 1--> Stretching--> Sprints --> Plyometrics --> Weights (lower) --> Ball work --> Stretching Day 2 --> Stretching --> Balance --> Shuttle run --> Sit-ups --> Pushups --> Weights (upper) --> Stretching Day 3 --> Stretching --> Distance run --> Sprints --> Ball work --> Stretching Day 4 --> Stretching --> Shuttle run --> Sit-ups --> Pushups --> Plyometrics --> Weights (lower) --> Stretching Day 5 --> Stretching --> Balance --> Weights (upper) --> Distance run --> Sprint --> Ball work --> Stretching Day 6--> Stretching --> Shuttle run --> Sit-ups --> Pushups --> Weights (optional) --> Stretching Day 7--> Off Upper body: Benchpress --> pec-fly/butterfly --> incline press --> lat pulldown --> compound row --> tricep extensions (cables or dumbbells) --> dips --> bicep curls --> concentration curls Lower body: squats or leg press --> leg extension --> leg curls --> lunges --> abs --> calf raises Also, you shouldn’t do plyometrics on a day you do long distance running. You don’t want to overexert your legs and possibly injure yourself. If the routine above gets boring, switch it up a bit to what best fits your body. Balance exercises can easily be added to your training. Since most of these tend not to require a lot of physical strength and endurance, do them on a less strenuous day, or at a time of day when you feel your legs can handle them (preferably the morning). TIP: You can never do enough ball work! Make sure to get plenty of this in your daily routines, whether it’s through regularly scheduled practice or by working it further into your training regimen.

The best way to start is by learning the fundamental of soccer and later by practice every day. So just go out in the field and play. Learn how to kick the ball. ho to recieve the ball etc. Hi it is never to late, I started playing soccer when I was in 7 grade and I almost become a professionla soccer player.

If you want a couple of tips what I would suggest is to practice kick-ups (keeping the ball in the air and not letting it bounce) and passing the ball against a wall using both of your feet. If you practice these and stick at it your ball control will improve lots and lots. Hope this helps, good luck. Its never too late.

Hell, you're only 23. There is a keeper in MLS who didn't start playing until he was 20 (forgive me all of you who will dispute this because I cannot come up with his name or team, I just happened to catch the comment while flipping through the other day). Anyway, Id say it didn't turn out so badly for him. Don't listen to the guys who say that you can't be as good as Pele or Zidane. I'm not saying you will be, but you could discover a natural gift for it. To learn, watch as much as you can. Buy a ball, find a park and go kick around. Maybe you'll get a pickup game dropped on your lap. Like one of the other answers said, it really is all about fun. Nobody is ever too old to learn to do anything. Hell, you're only 23.

At first, I started at a really young age and played on cheap soccer teams like recreational. Then select soccer, and moving on to high school soccer. The best way to learn skills of a soccer player without a team or coach (although those are the best ways) would be to simply get as many touches as you can on the ball. You have to find some way to develop your skills. Usually players practice with others, or just play some street games for fun. Good luck!
