JV Girls High school Tryouts?

Question

I am a sophmore and I want to try out for the JV soccer team in the spring. I am in not in good shape (one of the reasons why i want to pick up a sport). If I start running from now, do you think I stand a chance of making the team. How much running should I do a day and what other soccer exercises should I do. I am a hard worker but I dont want to embarrass myself either.

Answer 1

uhh. if its anything like my high school then you need a miracle. freshman year is pretty much the only chance for people to make it even if they arent the best. because by trying out after that you are basically saying that you are so much better than somewhere who devoted their time last year that the other person should get cut just so you can make the team. i know its harsh, but the sport is really competitive where i go.

but if you love the sport that much then go for it! run several miles a few days a week, with a day of sprinting nonstop until you can go on no more. spend a lot of time working on your dribbling, passing, and shooting. practice with someone who was on the team last year because there are somethings you just cant do on your own. also, tryouts are usually in december or november since the season starts in the spring semester so get started now!
