Can you be noticed by soccer scouts without being on a high school team?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hey, you just need to visit Rayleague.com and create a player profile!

The best way I can think is to be different. Lots of players dye their hair green to get noticed or gold boots etc...remember if you are to do this then ensure your going to have a good game!

Johann Cruyff said it best the game is simple a good pass today is a great pass. A good shot is a great shot. Everyone can pass and shot but few make the simple functions great.

Im still a young player but i know the number one thing is work hard never stop working your hardest its also what u do on your own time that helps always play like there is a scout watching you practice all your skills on your own time and when with friends practice your team game that's what i have been taught

u don't want to make ur equipment or how u look be the reason u get noticed. if u got bright green hair then, yes, u'll be seen, but what scouts look for is that flare and surge in each player. they want someone who can take control of any situation and make into a scoring chance. being a finisher is good, but making the plays is even better. make ur personality and skill the part why u deserve to be on the team

Hi how are you doiung today? Am wondering how do become i scout fopr soccer can you let me know how to become one as acout please and thank you have nice day heres my email

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it is in fact one of the oldest sports known to this day. Many cultures claim to have invented this sport, but the real creators are the Indians. I am not sure which tribe was the master mind behind the sport, but I do know they were the creators.

What do basketball players do to stay healthy?

In my opinion, anything that doesn't involve you throwing up from eating too much of it, or anything that doesn't have so much caffeine or sugar, you feel like an electric toaster. Try eating some fruits or veggies, maybe something with vitamin C? I would also recommend milk, 1% or lower. It helps build strong bones, and studies prove that milk refreshes you more than water.

Why did the olympic committee change the age requirements for soccer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The age requirements currently used by the olympic committee limit the number of highly experienced professional players a team can have. That limitation creates more parity between more teams. Without that increased chance for smaller countries to win a medal, many smaller countries would not even submit a soccer team to play in the Olympics.

What is the men's Australian basketball team called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no netball in the Olympics, and secondly it depends on what country you are referring to.

The Australian Men's (and mixed) National Netball teams are called the Sonix. Up until 2012, the Sonix played a biennial Trans Tasman series. In the alternate years, a World Cup was contested in one of a number of host countries. Teams in the U/23, Open Men's & Open Mixed divisions compete (additionally, an U/19 division was included in the 2012 Trans Tasman series for the first time). In 2013, a new chapter in International Men's & Mixed Netball competition has begun, with the inaugural World Championship of Men's & Mixed Netball to be contested in Sun City, South Africa. Teams in the U/23, Open Men's & Open Mixed divisions will compete. Similarly in 2013, the Australian Sonix U/17 & U/19 teams will travel to Malaysia to compete in thatcountry'slargest annual Netball Tournament. Sadly at this time, neither LadiesorMen's Netball are included on the Olympic Program, however Netball as a whole received IOC recognition in 2005.
