:D
I *really* wish I'd saved the replay of my first ever game. Literally six people just trying, and mostly failing, to hit the ball at all. You don't really notice yourself improving because the game matches you against people at roughly your own skill level.
But yeah, you played well, especially given how long you've played. The *main* (as in most damaging) thing noobs get wrong is positioning and yours was generally good. Hitting the ball just comes with practise :D
Most important thing is learning to rotate. As in, if you're defending and your teammate leaves goal to meet a ball then you should go to goal to fill the hole (YJ). When attacking if the last person comes forward to hit a ball they can get to well, you should back off and take the rearmost position (YJ).
And, obviously, don't go for a ball your teammate is going for (unless they've very clearly missed it). Doubling up like that leaves big exploitable gaps.
Similarly, if you've missed a ball and both you and the ball are slow-moving (so you can't do much with it), rotate out and let a teammate have a pop.
AAand... don't chase the ball. Go where the ball is going to be or just occupy a useful space in relation to your teammates. On the attack you generally want one person on the ball trying to send it mid, one person ready to put it in and one person a bit further back ready to go for a rebound/clearance or rush back to goal for a counterattack (rearmost person should always go to goal if other team gets possession). But yeah, you should be rotating in and out of one of those three roles generally.
It's all kinda situational though, none of these are hard and fast (YJ) rules.
4s is good practise in the sense that you can kinda always go for the ball and try stuff out, there's less pressure cos it's such a scramble on both sides.
Anyway, sorry, that was a lot of unasked for advice :Y
