How hard is it to become a MLS player?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Major League Soccer, or MLS, is the professional soccer league in the United States. As such, only the highest caliber players will play for teams in this league. For someone to play in the MLS, they generally must play for years, starting at a young age, and be quite talented. They will usually play for junior and reserve competitive teams, sometimes affiliated with (but separate from) professional clubs, and hopefully be selected to move up. Many great players never get the chance to play for a professional team, but all of the players who don't try will fail!

Who is a libro in soccer?

Asked by Wiki User

In football (soccer), the libero, also known as a sweeper, is a defender who typically plays behind the other defenders. The libero serves as a last line of defense, and also will often trigger attacks. The position was first developed in Italy, but the modern role was largely defined by German legend Franz Beckenbauer. Source: http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/libero/football-(soccer).html

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

For a U14 soccer team how many players are on a team including subs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The number of players on a soccer team, any age group, varies. Most people will say about 17-18 is a safe number. You have 11 starting players and 6-7 substitutions. This way if a player is injured, sick, or unable to make a game or tournament there are still enough players to take part in the game. You always want to have at least 3 subs.

User Avatar

In football, it is a goal kick if the opposition kicks towards the goal, but the ball misses the goal mouth and crosses the touchline out of play. The goalkeeper places the ball and kicks it down towards the other end of the pitch, or directly towards a team member.

How much does a soccer player squat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you're talking about the act of squatting then "some" is probably the answer. There isn't a lot of squatting in soccer, but it can happen. If you're asking about the amount of weight a soccer player can squat, it varies with each player. Remember that speed is sought, and endurance is mandatory for soccer players. That means they won't be "pumping up" to drastically increase their muscle mass. Reps are much more important, and will be much more often recommended for those who are driving iron in conjunction with other training aimed at better soccer performance.
