And I've been looking for courses, organizations, etc. all over my city. The only introductory courses are for 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds.

 

I'm 15 years old and I'm an absolute novice. I have no one in my family to teach me, and I've asked all my neighbors to no avail. And while it would be a good solution to have friends who teach me skills, I have virtually no friends atm as I've been moving schools very frequently.

 

I've seen soccer courses at my community college but I'm not too comfortable with playing with adults that are twice my height, several of them being actually very skilled. If I don't get any replies from here, that will be my solution and I will wait the 3 months to take that course...

 

I live in Los Angeles if it helps. Please give me any advice, there must be someone here who plays a sport that didn't learn in their infancy.

 

Tash, if you're reading this, please don't move this to the Sport section. I don't feel like it truly belongs there and it would annoy me if you did. Thanks :thumbsup:

Why did this make me laugh

sly diggity

 

thats funny because where i live everybody and i mean EVERYBODY loves soccer and there are too many teams, isnt there a sports center in L.A? there must be, and you should try other high schools because they should have sport teams and i think girls usually play soccer :thinking: or start your own by asking somebody in your local community college who has excellent skillz to find young teens to play with some balls.

When I was 15, I played soccer at my high school. You should go to the try outs! :thumbsup:

What? I'm not the only Moderator around here :|

She'd only be annoyed if you did it :angry:

 

okay so BACK OFF :veryangry:

It's still weird to only mention my name.

It's not that weird, are you going to keep going on about it? Probably.

 

Dee the only way of learning is to join a team and play, and get better, nobody "teaches" you it's not like riding a bike. You can learn technique of kicking a ball around with a bit of space and a wall, no one person will make a huge difference. Also you can look up different things with this new fancy internet thing, I've been playing since childhood and never knew the correct technique of kicking through a ball until a few years ago.

 

SOCCER LOL YANK :lol:

Thanks very much, all! Keep replying if you want, would be very helpful. :dance:

Yeah I knew it was a bit of a dumb approach but I knew that eventually I'd have/want to play with others and I found fuck all. Will try that, thanks

Also I don't know how to ride a bike. Pffft my childhood :veryangry2:

I think it may make some difference if you actually know some techiniques. It may help you when you're actually playing, as opposed to just doing it without consciousness. It goes without saying that knowing some abstract techiniques (how to move around, how to kick a ball etc) can only be of relevance if articulated with actual practise and training.

 

I don't know how much you watch people playing soccer/football, but it can help you to have some idea of how to move around and where to be in the field.

 

I pretty much suck at giving advice, but good luck anyway and I hope you can have access to appropriate conditions of learning!

Dee your new username provides much lols :lol:

 

Realistically though, nobody is going to coach you, I can't even imagine someone who would 'teach' soccer. Get a football (NOT AN AMERICAN FOOTBALL YANK) and any park or space you can kick it about in, look up SOCCER technique and you'll be fine.

^I think it varies from individual to individual. Even if you are able to teach yourself, it may be useful, before getting to that level, to get some advice from people who already know what you're attempting to do.

Woah how was "Coldplay" not taken?

^ I was wondering the same :wacko:

I was thinking that

maybe she killed a no-poster for it

That's what I did for mine

 

I feel bad because now someone is dead and the blood is on my hands

my name was brand new because im a special snowflake

This pust a whole different meaning to "I Love Coldplay" so now when MylloXyloToLoverObsessedCP69 says "idkk but i love coldplay" i will pretend that that thing shares the same love i have for Dee.

Found out there are several beginner's teams at my school, whooo problem solved ^^

So can someone tell me how to play this game, do I throw the ball in the basket or do I hit it with one of those little racquet things :huh:

do you want to learn because the albarn plays? so does his oasis pal :o and the famous chris martin

yes

This is Chris Martin, by the way. ;)

Don't listen to anyone else who claims to be Chris Martin. This is the official Chris Martin. ;)

 

- Chris Martin

then why does your user detail say dee? did you eat her? is that why you are so fat and wanna play soccer? will you lose weight? are you noel gallagher?
