If soccer’s your game, your weekend plans are set.
One week after AYSO hosted a 72-team tournament to close its season, the Yavapai Soccer League (YSL) ups the ante with a 94-team field for the Yavapai Cup. The event is expected to draw more than 1,400 players.
“The tournament has grown significantly this year so we’re pretty much managing it as best we can,” Tournament Director Ed Andert said Tuesday. “It got very popular this year … the popularity of the tournament has just mushroomed.”
Yavapai CUp is a great tournament. Here are some of my ideas on tactics for a tournament goal score: It depends on the position of the defender, with a defender behind you or beside you, usually you need to stretch it long, dribbling it farther away from you than you usually do, then run after it. I usually hit it with my upper outer part of my toes. Look for ronaldhino videos during his prime at barcelona. If the opponent is in front of you, play it short, diagonally behind your marker making him/her backpedal and turn, if your faster than the defender you can still control the ball. Watch how wingers play to beat them, it’s what they do to get to the sides before crossing the ball.
