INTRODUCTION ON FOOTBALL
Football, also called association football or soccer, game in which two teams of 11 players,
using any part of their bodies except their hands and arms, try to maneuver the ball into
the opposing team’s goal. Only the goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball and may do
so only within the penalty area surrounding the goal. The team that scores more goals wins.

Football is the world’s most popular ball game in numbers of participants and spectators.
Simple in its principal rules and essential equipment, the sport can be played almost
anywhere, from official football playing fields (pitches) to gymnasiums, streets, school
playgrounds, parks, or beaches. Football’s governing body, the Fédération Internationale de
Football Association (FIFA), estimated that at the turn of the 21st century there were
approximately 250 million football players and over 1.3 billion people “interested” in
football; in 2010 a combined television

audience of more than 26 billion watched football’s premier tournament, the quadrennial
month-long World Cup finals.

 HISTORY OF FOOTBALL

Modern football originated in Britain in the 19th century. Since before medieval times, “folk
football” games had been played in towns and villages according to local customs and with a
minimum of rules. Industrialization and urbanization, which reduced the amount
of leisure time and space available to the working class, combined with a history of legal
prohibitions against particularly violent and destructive forms of folk football to undermine
the game’s status from the early 19th century onward. However, football was taken up as a
winter game between residence houses at public (independent) schools such as
Winchester, Charterhouse, and Eton. Each school had its own rules; some allowed limited
handling of the ball and others did not. The variance in rules made it difficult for public
schoolboys entering university to continue playing except with former schoolmates. As early
as 1843 an attempt to standardize and codify the rules of play was made at the University of
Cambridge, whose students joined most public schools in 1848 in adopting these “Cambridge
rules,” which were further spread by Cambridge graduates who formed football clubs. In
1863 a series of meetings involving clubs from metropolitan London and surrounding
counties produced the printed rules of football, which prohibited the carrying of the ball.
Thus, the “handling” game of rugby remained outside the newly formed Football
Association (FA). Indeed, by 1870 all handling of the ball except by the goalkeeper was
prohibited by the FA.

The new rules were not universally accepted in Britain, however; many clubs retained their
own rules, especially in and around Sheffield. Although this northern English city was the
home of the first provincial club to join the FA, in 1867 it also gave birth to the Sheffield
Football Association, the forerunner of later county associations. Sheffield and London clubs
played two matches against each other in 1866, and a year later a match pitting a club
from Middlesex against one from Kent and Surrey was played under the revised rules. In
1871 15 FA clubs accepted an invitation to enter a cup competition and to contribute to the
purchase of a trophy. By 1877 the associations of Great Britain had agreed upon a uniform
code, 43 clubs were in competition, and the London clubs’ initial dominance had diminished.

 RULES AND REGULATIONS OF FOOTBALL
There are 17 laws that govern how the game is to be played so that it is fair to all players
taking part in a game. The most basic rule is that a player needs to move the ball towards
the opponents’ goal line and away from his/her own using any body part except the hands
and arms
Rule 1: The field of play
The pitch must be a rectangle, marked with touchlines, goal lines and areas, a halfway line,
a center circle, penalty areas, spots, arcs corner arcs and flag post. The short edges are the
touch lines whereas the shorter lines are referred to as goal lines. A half line runs across the
center of the field dividing it into two equal parts. All these must be marked as well as the
goal areas, center circle, penalty area and corner arcs with a flag on each corner. The
acceptable dimensions of a football field are 90-120meters length by 45-90meters width.
Rule 2: The ball
The ball must be made of approved materials. The ball that will be used in a game must
have a diameter of 68-70 cm (27-28in), weight between 410-450g (14-16oz) and must have
an internal pressure of between 0.6 and 1.1 atmospheres at sea level. It can only be
changed by the referee. If ever it bursts during a game, the play is stopped and restarted
with a new drop ball.
Rule 3: The number of players
A football match consists of two teams of not more than 11 players each including a
goalkeeper. An outfield player may swap with the goalkeeper during a stoppage of play.
Teams must have at least seven players to begin or continue a match. A maximum of three
substitutions are allowed per team in official matches but the number can be more in
friendly games.
Rule 4: The player’s Equipment
All players must wear a shirt, socks, shorts, shin pads or shin guards and football boots.
Goalkeepers from both teams should wear gloves and jerseys that distinguishes them from
their own team, opponents and from the officials. Headgear is permitted if it does not
present a threat to other players. Wearing any forms of jewelllery during a match is
prohibited.
Rule 5: The referees / officials-Every game must be controlled by a referee whose role is to
ensure that all rules are followed and punish those who do not adhere as well as stopping
and starting the game as is necessary. He or she is the final decision-making authority on
all.facts connected with play. Referees’ remuneration for their services varies between
leagues.

7
Rule 6: The Assistant Referees
Assistant referees (at least two) also known as linesmen have a role to assist the main
referee in manning the game. The assistant referee’s duties generally consist of judging
when the ball has left the field of play. They support the referee primarily by signaling for
corner kicks, throw-ins, and offside infringements. At higher levels of play the referee is also
assisted by a fourth official. The fourth official’s duties are usually administrative in nature
and vary depending on the match rules and the discretion of the referee.
Rule 7: The Duration of the Match
A football match is played for two sessions, 45 minutes each with a break of 15 minutes
maximum in between. Additional minutes or injury time may be added at the end of the
game to cater for time lost caring for injured players. Overtime is the time added to a
match when no winner has been determined by the end of regular time.
Rule 8: The starting and restart of play
A coin is tossed by the captains of the competing teams and the team to start the game
predetermined. A kick-off between two members of a team then starts the game at the
center circle. After halftime, the opposing team begins the match.
Rule 9: Ball in or out of play
The ball is in play when it is inside the field of play and the referee has not stopped play.The
ball is out of play when it has completely crossed the touchlines or the goals lines, whether
in the air or on the ground.
Rule 10: The method of scoring
A goal is scored when the ball has completely crossed the goal line between the goalposts
and under the crossbar, provided that no other infringements have taken place. The team
with the most goals wins.
Rule 11: Offside
A player is offside, at the moment a ball is passed forward, when he is: in the opponents’
half of the field; is closer to the opponents’ goal line than the ball; and there are fewer than
two defenders including the goalkeeper closer to the goal line than the attacking player.
When a player is called offside, the opposition is awarded a free-kick.
Rule 12: Fouls and Misconduct
The referee decides on the deserving punishment depending on how extreme a foul is. A
foul has been committed if a player trips, kicks, pushes, charges another player recklessly,
striking of any kind (punching, headbutting, elbowing, kneeing, choking including biting,
attempts to strike or spits at an opponent, makes a tackle but connects with the player
before the ball, deliberately handles the ball (except for the goalkeepers), obstructs an
8
opponent or prevents them from releasing the ball. These include issuing red and yellow
cards to those at fault and giving free kicks, throw-ins or penalties to the opposing team.
Rule 13: Free kicks (direct and indirect)
Free kicks restart play after a foul or infringement and are usually taken from the place
from which the offense was committed. Free-kicks can be “direct” in which the taker may
score directly, or “indirect”, in which the taker and a second player from the same team
must touch the ball before a goal can be scored.
Rule 14: The penalty kick
A penalty-kick is awarded for a foul committed by a defending player in his or her own
penalty area. The kick is taken from the penalty spot and all other players except for the
goalkeeper and taker must be at least 9.15m (10yrd) from the spot. The taker may touch
the ball if it rebounds from the goalkeeper, but not if it rebounds from the post or crossbar.
Rule 15: The throw-in
A throw-in is awarded when the ball has crossed the touchline and an opposition player
was the last to touch it. The throw is taken from the point from which the ball crossed the
line. The taker must have both feet on the ground, use two hands throw the ball from
behind and over the head, and be facing the field of play.
Rule 16: The goal-kick
A goal-kick is awarded to the defending team when the ball crosses its goal line, a golal has
not been scored, and the last player to touch it was from the opposition. Any player may
take the goal kick, placing the ball anywhere in the goal area. The kick must send the ball
out of the penalty area or be retaken. The taker may not touch the ball again until it has
been touched by a second player.
Rule 17: The corner-kick
A corner-kick is awarded to the attacking team when the opposition is last to touch the ball
and the ball crosses the goal line without a goal being scored. It is also awarded if the ball
enters the goal from a throw-in or indirect free kick. The attacking team restarts play by
placing the ball in the corner arc nearest to where it crossed the goal line.

 SKILLS USED IN FOOTBALL
The game of football requires a variety of skills that players will need to learn. In addition to
having a certain amount of athletic ability to be able to run, change direction and maintain
your balance, players need specific skills to play the game. These are skills that can be
learned and mastered with training and practice.
1. Dribbling
(i)Football dribbling drill
Dribbling the ball in football is essential. It allows the player to keep possession of the ball
while moving either toward the opponent’s end of the field or to create space to either
shoot or make a pass. It is suggested that players practice their dribbling as much as
possible. The more they practice, the better they will become. Here are a couple of drills to
improve dribbling.
(ii)Closed-space dribbling drill
Place three cones on the ground in a triangle or square, 2 feet apart. Dribble between the
cones using all surfaces of your feet. Use quick touches to guide the ball around the cones
in a controlled pattern
(iii)Cone Drill
Line up 6 to 10 cones 5 yards apart. Weave through the cones dribbling with the inside of
your feet. Repeat the drill alternating between the inside and outside of your feet, circling
right and then left around each one.
2. Juggling
Juggling can help a player with his ball control, coordination and can help to improve their
reactions. You should practice your juggling daily at least 10 minutes a day. Each day try to
improve the number of times you keep the ball in the air. Here is a drill to learn juggling.
Hold ball with both hands and drop it to the ground. Use one of your feet to tap it up so
that you can catch it with hand.
3. Passing
A good passing team in football is able to keep possession of the ball and move it down the
field. In many ways, passing is just as important as shooting for your team to score a goal.
There are many different types of passes in football and it’s important to practice them.
Here are two drills to learn different types of passes.
(i)Player Passing Drill-Position 3 players about 10 yards apart, in line. The player in the
middle will take a pass from one player and pass it right back. Repeat step 2 with the other
player. Continue for a few minutes and switch positions
10
(ii)Cone Game
Players pair up and stand across from each other around a circle. Set up 6 or 8 cones in the
middle of the circle as targets. Players try to knock over the cones with accurate passes
4. Receiving
Receiving football with your feet is an important skill in football. A pass is only as good as
the player’s ability to receive the pass and keep the play going. Practicing this skill is
important for all young football players.
(i)Wall Drill
Using a wall, have players kick with one foot off the wall and receive with the other foot.
When receiving, players should practice stopping and deadening the ball. Continue with
about 10 repetitions and then switch your foot
5. Shooting
It goes without saying that learning to shoot the football is one of the most important skills
a player will need. The two most important skills when shooting are power and accuracy.
Players should practice both and also be able to shoot the ball with either foot.
(i)One-Pass Shooting Drill
Place one player outside the penalty area and another to the side of the goal. Player at the
side of the goal passes to the other player. This player receives the ball and taps it in front
to take a step and then shoots. Shooter should work on solid contact and accuracy. These
drills will take your game to the next level.

 EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE GAME

Football involves a lot of running around the field with the ball. The players also don’t
require sporting much gear to play the game. Cleat shoes, socks, shin protector, and head
gear are some of the equipments used by players. In this section, we will learn about these
equipments in detail.

Cleats or turfs − A very important gear for every football player. These are specially
designed shoes with spikes on the bottom that provide great traction on grass.

Socks − The socks made for Football are very long and they are meant to cover the shin-
guard.

14
Shin Guards − These are used to protect the player’s shin. While playing football, opponent
players try to injure players by kicking in the shin area. It could be an intentional or un

intentional act by the player. Hence, shin guards are a protective equipment.

Soccer Ball − This the main equipment of the game and the total game revolves around this.
A Football is made of vulcanized rubber with plastic bladders and covered by plastic covers.

15
MEASUREMENTS AND DIMENSIONS OF THE FIELD

The size of a football (soccer) field is about 100 metres long and 60 metres wide, but in
official games there are regulations about the minimum and maximum dimension. In the
world football the most official dimensions are those that had been decied by FIFA (The
Fédération Internationale de Football Association).

According to the stipulations from FIFA a football field should have specific minimum and
maximum dimensions:

• The length (touch line) has to be minimum 90 metres (100 yds) and maximum 120
metres (130 yds).
• The width (goal line) has to be minimum 45 metres (50 yds) and maximum 90 metres
(100 yds).

For international matches the rules are somewhat stricter:

• The length has to be minimum 100 metres and maximum 110 metres.
• The width has to be minimum 64 metres and maximum 75 metres.

16
In 1800s, the fields could be up to 100 yards wide and 200 yards long. The boundaries were
only marked by flags until 1882 when boundary lines, as well as a halfway line (the center
circle became a standard five years later), on the turf were enforced.

The goal area

The goal area is the small box inside the penalty area. The FIFA rules stipulates that the
distance from each goalpost to the lines that goes parallel with the touch line should be 5.5
metres. When the size of a standard goal is added it makes the distance between the lines
18.32 metres.

The penalty area

The penalty area is the bigger box close to the goal that integrates the goal area and the
penalty mark (it was introduced in 1887 and was complemented by D-shaped curve in
1937). The lines that extend into the fields are 16.5 metres and they have a 40.32 metres
distance from each other.

The penalty mark is 11 metres from the goal line and centered on the fields' goal line.
