1. Always play fair and by the rules.

2. Maintain dignity under difficult conditions.

3. Always lend support and encouragement to your teammates.

4. Always play your hardest and your best in practice and games.

5. Whether you win or lose, always demonstrate respect for your coaches, referees, your opponents, your teammates, and the game.

6. A good soccer player must display conditioning, skills, and tactical knowledge.

7. The team that has the ball is on offense; the team that doesn’t have the ball is on defense.

8. Regardless of the position you play, you need to know all the skills of a soccer player.

9. Never aimlessly "kick" the ball unless you need to get it away from in front of your goal. Always know where you are sending the ball.

10. Always maintain your position on the field, regardless of what is happening around you.

11. If you run forward when your team has possession, you will need to run back when the other team has posession.

12. The person who loses the ball is the first to defend and give immediate chase.

13. When you shift from offense to defense, sprint to get between your opponent and your goal.

14. When you are defending your goal, the player closest to the ball should attack it. The other defenders should fall into a supporting role and "mark" opponents on the other team who could receive and shoot the ball.

15. Move the ball toward the touchlines on the defensive side of the field and toward the center on the offensive side of the field move the ball toward the center of the field, or “center” the ball.

16. Pass the ball before you get into trouble, not after.

17. Always move the ball a good distance when you kick it.

18. If you have the opportunity to shoot, TAKE IT!

19. If you have a shot to take on goal, take it even if you are not near the goal line.

20. As most players are right-footed, so attack and watch for attacks on the right foot.

21. Develop your passing, kicking, and dribbling skills with both your feet so that you can use your left foot to fool your opponents.

22. Always maintain possession of the ball. Moving laterally with the ball or falling back is better than your opponent gaining possession of the ball.

23. When on offense you must always "support" your teammate with the ball by being open and close enough for a pass.

24. No matter the outcome of the game, if you have given 100% be proud of yourself.

25. Don’t limit yourself. YOU CAN DO IT!
