Soccer Select Soccer
(aka “Travel” soccer). There are 2 types of youth soccer, recreational and select (which is also called travel soccer). “Select” soccer is more competitive & teams often practice several times per week & play year-round. There are usually try-outs for these teams, soccer players can be “cut” and playing time is not guaranteed. The focus of these teams is often on winning tournaments & that is how their success is judged. They are sometimes called “travel” soccer teams because they travel to tournaments in other cities. These teams often have paid coaches or a paid trainer. They have been criticized for having too much focus on tournament play and not enough emphasis on training. (See “Recreational Soccer“).
Soccer Hook Turn
(aka “Cut” or “Cutback”). A technique for reversing direction by using the inside or outside of the foot to “cut”, “chop” or “hook” the ball. This is done by turning the foot and pulling the toes up so the laces can hook or chop the ball & cause it reverse direction. Keep in mind that people in different parts of the world use different terms. This can be confusing, and sometimes people use terms for similar but slightly different things. For example, some people use the term “hook” to mean using the inside or outside of the foot to reverse the direction of the ball (a 180 degree turn), and might use the term “cut” to mean using the inside or outside of the foot to chop the ball so it goes to the left or right (a 90 degree turn). (See “Outside-of-Foot Reverse” game and “Outside-of-Foot”).
