Step 1
Get into shape. Soccer requires a lot of conditioning, so the better prepared you are, the better chance you have of making the team. A good idea is to start training three weeks before tryouts. Most coaches want players who can run 2 miles in less than 15 minutes. You also need to be good at sprinting.

Step 2
Work on your soccer skills, whether it's shooting, dribbling or simply maintaining control. If you're a goalkeeper, ask a friend to work on shooting the soccer ball at you while you try to stop it.
-
Step 3
Be aware of when school tryouts are held. This is probably the most important step to know because if you miss the tryouts, there's no way you can be picked for the team. Look for signs posted, announcements made or ask your fellow classmates or the soccer coach when the tryouts are held.

Step 4
Maintain a positive attitude during tryouts. The coach should notice you encouraging other players who are trying out for the team. You are more likely to be picked since coaches want positive players who help the cohesiveness of the team.
