So I'm a long time soccer fan but I've never done anything but just kick a ball in my backyard. I'm now coaching my son's team and having a blast doing it. However, I'm really anxious to actually start playing. I signed up for a Park District league that will start up later this summer. I've heard the league is made up of guys between 21 - 45 with a wide array of talent (I'm 39).
I want to do everything I can to try and get ready as I'm deathly nervous about looking like a dork. I've been working on my fitness (shuttle runs) and just taking a few balls out on the pitch and knocking them around with 8-year-old boy. I feel like I'm really good shape but what do you all recommend in terms of either drills or exercises I can do to raise my game.
I've tried in vain to get some 3x3 games going. Any suggestions?
