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!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RKui-SqMlE Dribbling basics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb6jlHgj7tc More dribbling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCdyJcsC1Yw Passing basics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOXrf0TIphg Key point in 1:47, facing target (very common at peewee and junior levels) Receiving a pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enYvjqmanY4 Shooting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrzfmkGtnYE&list=PLlRc5W1YKKXm1oUFVDj9qD3p19VgBfCsK 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.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqOvW02ZU68&index=4&list=PLlRc5W1YKKXm1oUFVDj9qD3p19VgBfCsK The scissors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MCxdaKRHws&index=5&list=PLlRc5W1YKKXm1oUFVDj9qD3p19VgBfCsK The step over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKEGZlNDSQ&index=8&list=PLlRc5W1YKKXm1oUFVDj9qD3p19VgBfCsK Pullback V (every player learned the pullback this year, here’s what to do with it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI2xbEvlVwg&index=9&list=PLlRc5W1YKKXm1oUFVDj9qD3p19VgBfCsK Shielding the ball from a defender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gRkQ6IfUm4&list=PLlRc5W1YKKXm1oUFVDj9qD3p19VgBfCsK&index=12
