Discover The Fundamentals Of The Game Of Soccer

By Margaret Burgess


Professionals, college, and high school play soccer with two 45 minute halves. The game of soccer is played between two teams, each consisting of a goalie and nine players. The players are then divided into offense and defense and can only play the soccer ball using their feet.

Kicking the ball into the opposing team's goal is the game's main objective. The goalie, therefore, is the only team player that is allowed to use his/her hands as well as feet.

Juggling, which is done by keeping the ball in the air using the feet, knees, chest, or head, if often practiced by soccer players. If they use their hands or arm, then the opposing team will take possession of the ball. When a team knocks the ball out of bounds, the opposing team can do a "throw-in" and take possession of the ball, in which both feet should remain on the ground while the is thrown back into play. If the ball is kicked over the line of a team own goal, then a "corner kick" is needed to which wherein the ball is kicked back into play to one of the teammates. But if the team kicks the ball over the opposing team's goal, then it's going to be a "goal kick" which will be taken by one of the defensive players of that team.

When it comes to "fouls", there are a number of circumstances it can be called for. Fouls can be called when a player touches the ball using the arm or hands, tripping or pushing, displaying bad sportsmanship and tackling other players. On the spot where the foul happened, the referee will call the ball dead and give the opposite team a free kick.

During a shootout, the goalie of one team will be up against a player from the opposing team, and this is done when the score is still tied when the regulation time of soccer runs out. Winning the game depends on the first one to score a goal.
