Six Soccer Sins

By David Clarke

1.Stopping the ball standing still

Players that trap balls standing still are easy to target by the opposition.

2.Goalkeeper staying on the line

Goalkeepers must advance towards the ball as attackers close in.

3. Standing waiting for the pass

Players must move to the ball, not wait for it.

4. Arguing with the referee

Those days are gone. Show that as a club you respect officials.

5. Lifting your feet at throw ins

It’s a technique all players should be able to get right.

6. Arguing with the crowd like David Beckham

Just ignore it. We don’t want children seeing any silly antics on the pitch – come on Becks you're paid well enough not to do that.
