Congratulations!
You have completed the 2015 Bethlehem Township Soccer season!
Today, you are a better soccer player than you were just 10 weeks ago, but there is still the opportunity
to become better yet!
Here is a ball to remind you that soccer can be played anywhere, anytime. You can practice in the
backyard, on the playground, in your garage, in your basement, maybe even in your kitchen!
It is the hope of your coaches that you use this ball, and that you return next fall having worn this ball
out from using it so much.
To help you along, here are some videos to teach you some amazing and useful skills that will make
you a better player.
Watch them and try the skills often.
Look on the back of this page and ask your parents if you can watch these videos.
I just got a new soccer ball, so now
what do I do???
First, some inspiration: four of the best ball handlers ever (and three of them still play so you can watch them!)

Moves (there are many more, find some on your own too!)
 Step right, go left (simple effective, labeled as a “trick” but it’s anything but.)
