Chapter 1

The Rules

There are many rules in soccer. First the ball can’t go out of bounds.
Out of bounds is where the ball gets kicked out of the white lines and the
other team gets the ball. But the people can go out of the lines. The next
one is throw ins, where you pick up the ball with your hands and throw it
in the game and start again. The next one is penalties, where something
bad happened or someone got hurt. The last one is hand balls, where you
touch the ball with your hands. When you are the goalie you can use your
hands but if your not the goalie you can’t use your hands.

Equipment

 

You need lots of equipment. First you need goals so you can shoot
because if you don’t have goals then you can’t score. Next you need
cleats so you can stay on the ground. Next is jerseys so you know what
team you’re on, but if you don’t wear it you will be mixed up. Next you will
need shin guards so the ball will not hurt your shin.Then you need a ball
so you can dribble and do foot skills.

Strategies to win!

These are some ways you can try to win the game in soccer. First you
can do foot skills, like scissors, pull back, L-move, cruyff, and side step.
In a side step, you step to the left side then your right foot moves the ball
and you dribble away. Next you can pass because it’s great teamwork.
Last there is dribbling, which helps you to move the ball with your feet.

Chapter 4

Positions

Ready to learn about positions? Then let’s go! First there is offense, where
you attack the ball and try to score. Next is defense, where you defend the
ball and make sure the other team does not score. After that the next one is
midfield. Midfield is where you are in the middle and you help move the ball
from the defense to the offense. The last one is goalie. The goalie’s job is to
block shots on goal so the other team does not score.

Scoring

Finally, if you want to win a game you have to score goals. First there is a
corner kick. To do this, you put the ball at the corner and kick it towards the
front of the box and somebody scores. Next there is shoot with your inside
foot. To do this, you dribble down the field, around defenders, using foot skills,
and kick the ball at the goal with your inside foot. Last one is to surprise the
goalie. You dribble down and pretend to kick the ball and then after that you
actually shoot and score.
