Please read up if you train football (soccer).
If anyone here plays football (soccer) on a competitive level, they would be perfect for answering.
Long story short, I'm 19 and have barely played football throughout hs. Before that I kind of played regularly with randoms, but that was it. I never trained in an academy. Now, I'm not super bad but I'm not that good either, I believe it isn't because of lack of a talent, but simply because I just haven't played it that often, especially recently. Now (yes now) I want to try and fulfil my lifelong dream and I would like to try out (or at least ask them if they'd let me) for a recently established shitty local team. I just want to start practising, especially with some peers.
Now, how would I best prepare for a try-out, if given a chance? I can run a lot, my passes are decent, my shooting and shooting accuracy is meh, but I'm working on technique, and my biggest problem is ball control. I easily lose it 1v1. I've been doing some drills which I've seen on YT where you do various exercises where you move the ball from one feet to another, practising various touches.
How can I maximize my chances of getting in, what else can I practice? I wanted to train in an academy ever since I was a kid, but I got cockblocked by my parents so that's why I'm trying to pursue my dream now. I know I'm a little too old for this, but I believe if I really forced myself, I may have a chance at making something out of it (starting to practice in a shitty team in a low league and perhaps climbing my way up over time)

How to maximize my chances of getting in a shitty local team and how would I practice for it?
