Practice Thursday. So guys give me some info on the game. I am clueless about this sport. What are some good ideas that I can work with her every afternoon. Maybe in bout 15 years she can be just arse bad arse as Hope solo. Yeah I know bout her from E60 episode.

When I was 5 every kid just swarmed after the ball.... idk if they teach five year olds tactics... but that was 16 years ago for me times may have changed.
One thing you can do as she gets older is ask the coach to put her on the left if she is right footed so she can learn to play with her less dominant foot.

She can be a loud-mouthed ho? jk...
Get her comfortable with the ball at her feet. If she really likes the sport suggest that she walk around the house with a ball at her feet. It worked for Stuart Holden.

let her frick around with no direction at all until she is like 7 or 8. if she likes it now, give her a ball and let her just literally do any god damn thing with it for fun. that's it.

Dude, she's 5. Just let her kick the damn ball around the yard. If soccer is something she likes and sticks to, technique etc won't really come into play until her middle school years.

I played when I was about that age, didn't make it past a few years though

My three year old started yesterday. Easily the most enthusiastic kid there. The drills were mostly designed to teach simple concepts like team work and listening to the coach.

Go on youtube, tons of drills on there for kids. Fun times right there man, enjoy. My youngest is now 9 and I just turned him over to the pro coaches at the club (u10 academy program). I coached him since he was 4 like my other kids...
