Answer 1

Just do your best.  If you are good enough you will make it.

If you want to impress the coach (I'm a coach), then do this:  always listen to everything the coach tells you.  Sprint onto the field and off the field every time.  Don't goof off with the other kids in practice and be the first to run up to the coach when he/she blows the whistle.

Make eye contact with the coach and make sure he/she knows your name.  If he doesn't know you it's a lot easier for him to cut you.

Answer 2

do something that gets you noticed pull off some megs or somthin except you look stupid if they dont work so just play to your advantages your not gonna be good at everything but make sure they know and remember what your the best at so they have a reason to take you i know a kid that got on a team just because he could kick the ball extremly far so they used him for goal kicks and thats it. o ya and have confidence remember that you ARE better than the other girl next to you...and that ends my rant on soccer tryouts good luck

Answer 3

I beleive in you!! you can do it, but the only thing that will stop you from getting on the team is not the other players but yourself, because you are your own worse enemy, so don't let fear, or discourageing yourself stop you ok XD. And also even though their are returnees and 20 of them, don't think they all good, they could have been bench warmers or water girls lol or manager hehe, so don't let that fool you. So once again don't chicken ok, and beleive in yo self XD.
