first off, I'm going to be a freshman in hs. I want to play on the soccer team, and i have 3 weeks until school starts. I havent practiced running since school ended in june .I didnt have a soccer team in middle school, and the last time i was on a team was 3 years ago, but I have played other sports since then. What can i do for stamina and endrance? speed as well? answers and advice is much appreciated. :]
two core ideas:
1. run bleachers for stamina and "suicides" the back and forth- tag the line drill. This will build your endurance more than adequately.
2. Soccer traing is first and foremost about muscle memory.
You need the eye /foot coordination set in stone at that level. Juggling, cones, and drills are a must. I wouldnt stop kicking the ball/dribbling/juggling between now and the practice. and i'd let the coach see you doing it too.
Just take runs to the closest store and buy something healthy and run back also go to the gym as much as u can.

If possible find a place with a goal, practice aiming and ball control, dribble the ball from one end of the field to the other, practice throw ins and other than that, just jog
