Smaller ball, smaller spaces.

Bro, I no tooth fairy but I think it's too late unless you really sacrifice all of whatever you have now, getting the wrath of your family and give 100% in football ...

Even if you do this and cry tears of blood, doesn't guarantee you will be a professional.

But all the best ...

a 16 yr old 'special player' doesnt mean he will be a 'special' 26 yr old player..and vice versa... what i am trying to say is its never too late.. now u may think u suck but hey next 2-3 yrs ure gonna get better...

for me i think im not that good nor skill ...but lazy to develop n be serious with it..got slack..became fat.. but i always dream of becoming a good player.. now im below average..cos i just sit,laze and not focusing on soccer. cant turn back time.. now support the national team only lah..lol

You got no injuries... still can run... can kick... just go for it....

There are many others out there who want to kick a ball but cannot for reasons beyond their help

thx for the advices..Unfortunately all the furniture in my house is like beside wall, the sofa has only 4 legs and the dining table is on one 1 platform.Sad that i cant really do much at home.Hope someone can list websites which give training(like improving shooting accuracy). for now im nt really needing dribbling skills, just need basic training.

Anyways, tmr there's interclass soccer..hope can do well =)

Hi there geekhiang. JCs do accept new soccer players who do not have experience at sec sch level, but you will have to go through the trials that they have organised. I suppose you are now in sec4, so throughout this year do start enquiring about the trial dates some schools may have. From what i know, many JCs actually welcome sec4 students to train with them so they can take a closer look at them. You do not have to be the finished product to get selected, they are looking at potential. I know of quite a few people who have played JC football without any prior experience at competitive level.

As an alternative, you can start joining social/amateur teams and train with them on a regular basis (if you can't find a soccer school). Besides JSSL Arsenal, you might want to check out International Soccer Academy(ISA). Like many people here have said, play street soccer. Work with the ball EVERY SINGLE DAY. juggle, pass, dribble, control, shoot. Work on fine-tuning your technique.

Just like you, i didn't pay much attention to training myself. I only really got started in sec sch, when i was curious about the sport but had no idea how to play it. My friend pulled me along to join my sec sch soccer team in sec1 and the next year, i made the school team. i made the team again in sec3 and sec4. so it's actually possible to learn the game still as long as you work on it. no guarantees whether you can become a professional, but i would say explore football now first and think about the career later. just play the game and if you're good enough, you will make it.
