Lesson I: Introduction to Association Football/ Soccer

I. INTRODUCTION
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sports
played between two teams of eleven players, and is widely considered to be the most
popular sports in the world. It is a football variant played on a rectangular grass or
artificial turf field, with a goal at each of the short ends, the object of the game is

∏
to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the
goal keepers are the only players allowed using their hands to propel the ball: the
rest of the team usually use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally
using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most
goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either
a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout,
depending on the format of the competition.
The modern game was codified in England following the formation of the Football
Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundation for the way the sports
is played today. Football is governed internationally by the Federation Internationale
de Football Association (International Federation of Association Football), commonly
known by the acronym FIFA. The most prestigious international football competition is
the FIFA World Cup, held every four years. This event, the most widely viewed in the
world, boast an audience twice that of the Summer Olympic Games.
NATURE OF THE GAME

Football is played in accordance with a set of rules known as the Laws of the
Game. The Game is played using a single round ball, known as football. Two teams of
eleven players each compete to get the ball into the other team’s goal (between the
posts and under the bar), thereby scoring a goal. The team that has scored more goals
at the end of the game is the winner; if both teams have scored an equal number of
goals then the game is draw.
The primary rule is that the players (other than goalkeepers) may not
deliberately handle the ball with their hands or arms during play (though they do use
their hands during a throw-in in restart). Although players usually use their feet to
move the ball around, they may use any part of their bodies other than their hands or
arms.
In typical game, players attempt to create goal scoring opportunities through
individual control of the ball, such as by dribbling, passing the ball to a team-mate,
and by taking shoots at the goal, which is guarded by the opposing goalkeeper. Opposing
players may try to regain control of the ball by intercepting a pass through tackling
the opponent in possession of the ball; however, physical contact between opponents is
restricted. Football is generally a free-flowing game, with play stopping only when the
ball has left the field of play or when play is stopped by the referee. After a
stoppage, play recommences with a specified restart.
• Soccer is basically a running and kicking game.
• It is a team game that requires speed, endurance, body and ball control.
• The objective of the game is to advance the ball down the field by using
the body and the feet to score points by sending the ball between the
goalposts and under the cross.

II. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Soccer history began in the mid-nineteenth century, when the game of soccer was
developed in England. However, the origin of soccer goes as far back as 2500 B.C. The
Chinese are credited with the earliest form of soccer, commonly recognized as
approximately 2500 B.C. They played the game called “Tsu chu” which may be translated
to “kicking the leather and stuffed ball with feet”. The game was part of the
physical education program used to train soldiers. The goal was a net with a hole
strung between two bamboo poles that were 30 feet high. To “score”, the ball had to
go through the hole in to the net and players were not allowed to use their hands.
Approximately 50 B.C. – The Japanese played a game and they called it as

“Kemari”. The ball was simply passed from player to player in the air and was only
touched with the feet.
“Episkyros” – a game played between two teams of twelve players in Ancient

Greece. However the rules of the game allowed using hands. The “Episkyros” was
adopted by the Romans from the Greeks and created a rugby style game called
“Harpastum”. Harpastum was a very past, physical and violent game. The number of
players varied from game to game, some reports suggest games with hundreds of players
on each side.
During 8th century, the English had been playing games similar to soccer.
14th century- The Royal Family banned soccer because according to King Henry V of
England, people were spending too much time playing soccer instead of practicing
archery for military purposes. The threat of imprisonment for playing soccer
didn’t make any difference whatsoever, the game still stayed very popular among
working class.
In the early 1800’s, a number of version of soccer were being played in private
schools throughout England. But it was nearly impossible for different schools to
play each other because teams couldn’t agree on the rules. Some allowed players
use their hands; others did not.
1848 – Students from Cambridge University tried to create the first rules that
everyone would accept everywhere. That only the goal keeper can use their hands
to propel the ball.
1863 – An organized soccer was begun when the English Football Association was
founded in London. By the end of the year, the game split into two games,
“Rugby” and “Association Football”.
Rugby – a game allowed players to touch and carry the ball with their hands.
Association Football (Soccer) – a game wherein only the goal keeper allowed to
play the ball with his hand.

∏
Eight years after the foundation of soccer and rugby, The Football Association
already had 50 member clubs. The FA Cup (1st soccer tournament in soccer history) was
started in the same year.
• Scottish FA (1873) • Chile (1895)
• FA of Wales (1875) • Switzerland/Belgium (1895)
• Irish FA (1880) • Italy (1898)
• Netherlands and Denmark (1889) • Germany/Uruguay (1900)
• New Zealand (1891) • Hungary (1901)
• Argentina (1893) • Finland (1907)
1904 – Delegates from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and
Switzerland established FIFA – the international governing body of soccer - to
promote the game of association football.

The FIFA 11+ is a 20-minute, warm-up program that when performed prior to
training (at least twice a week) will reduce injuries by up to 50 percent. Prior to
matches, only the running exercises (parts 1 and 3) should be performed. For all
exercises, correct performance is of great importance. After the basic warm-up is
mastered, players should progress to the intermediate and advanced strength, plyometric
and balance exercises.
The “11+” has three parts with a total of 15 exercises, which should be
performed in the specified sequence at the start of each training session.

∏
Part 1: running exercises at a slow speed combined with active stretching

and controlled partner contacts;
Part 2: six sets of exercises focusing on core and leg strength, balance and
plyometrics/ agility, each with three levels of increasing difficulty; and
Part 3: running exercises at moderate / high speed combined with planting /
cutting movements.
A key point in the programme is to use the proper technique during all of the
exercises. pay full attention to correct posture and good body control, including
straight leg alignment, knee-over-toe position and soft landing.
Field Set-up

Basic Skills in
PART Football/ Soccer
Overview:
This lesson focuses on the basic skills in football/soccer. 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. Soccer is a sport unlike almost all
others, as the feet are needed for technical skills more than the hands. A number of
fundamental skills are needed to play soccer, with advanced players able to build on
the fundamental skills for more complex and precise dribbling, passing and shooting.
The skills of a soccer player also vary from one position to another, with a goalkeeper
needing much different skills than a field player. Power, speed and agility are
fundamental skills the students need to excel in soccer. In these areas, various cardio
and strength-training drills can boost their skill levels and should be done three to
five times a week. Dribbling, passing, shielding, trapping, tackling, shooting and
goalkeeping are different ways they contact the ball during a game. Practice these
contact movements, ideally with a teammate, to fully develop the skills they need to
play soccer. The students will learn these basic skills in football/soccer in this part
of the module. Every skill was written on detailed including the methods and process
for the students to understand much easier. Each skill is also supported with pictures
and video links that can be used by the students as a guide to learn the basic skills.
Objectives:
Identify the parts of the shoe/ foot used for kicking the ball.
Understand and perform the basic skills in football/ soccer.
Execute correctly the different skills needed in the sport
Demonstrate knowledge of basic strategies and techniques in playing football/
soccer.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT’S

∏
A. The Soccer Field
Soccer field dimensions and areas
B. The Soccer Ball

The soccer ball is spherical (round) and made of leather. For FIFA soccer, the
ball must have a circumference of 27 to 28 inches and
weigh between 14 and 16 ounces. However, there are other
sizes that are used for different ages of kid's
competition.
• Size 3 - this is generally the smallest ball and
is used for players under 8 years old. Its
circumference is 23-24 inches.
• Size 4 - Used for players 8 to 12 years old. It
has a 25 to 26 inch circumference.
• Size 5 - This is the standard sized ball (27 - 28
inches) and is usually used for players older than
12.

∏
C. Uniforms and Kit

The uniforms for soccer players
consist of a jersey and shorts. Players on
the same team wear the same colored uniforms
generally with a number and name on the back
of the jersey. The goalkeepers wear a
uniquely colored jersey so they will stand
out to referees during play.
When you take everything that soccer
players wear together, it's called the
"kit". The kit includes the jersey, shorts,
socks, cleats and shoes, and shin guards.
Goalkeepers often wear gloves as well.
D. Shin Guards
Shin guards, or shin pads, are required. They help protect the front of the leg,
or shin, from getting injured and bruised. Shin guards must fit under the socks.
Goalies and forwards generally have the lightest weight shin guards while midfielders
and, especially, defensemen wear heavier, more sturdy shin
guards.
Try to get shin guards that are comfortable and
don't hinder your running too much, but at the same time
offer good protection. Even if they seem really
uncomfortable at first, you will get used to them after a
while, and when you get kicked in the shin really hard,
you will be glad you have them!
Other Equipment Rules

Players are responsible for wearing equipment that
will not endanger themselves or other players. This includes wearing jewelry or sharp
spikes on the shoes.

∏
Fun Facts
• Adidas has supplied the World Cup ball since 1970. Each ball has
a unique design and name. The 2010 World Cup ball was the
Jabulani.
• Shin guards were invented in 1874 by Samuel Widdowson, a player
for Nottingham Forest.
• Professional soccer jerseys often have the logo of team sponsors
right on the jersey. This advertising makes lots of money for the
team.
• The exact specifications for the ball are defined in Law 2 of the
Laws of the Game.
Soccer Referee Gear
Soccer
Referee
Uniform Bag
Once you have your uniform chosen, you must then
decide on your referee gear and equipment. Soccer
referee gear and equipment can be divided into two
categories: (1) gear that you absolutely must have and
(2) optional equipment.
The following items are necessary in every

referee's equipment bag:
1. Set of soccer referee flags
2. Referee Watch (preferably two in case one
malfunctions during the game)
3. Referee Whistle (and a spare one in case you lose it or it breaks)
4. Set of soccer referee cards and wallets
5. Referee Score Sheets (or, in alternative, a small notebook or notepad)
6. Referee Pen or pencil

∏
7. Equipment or Gear Bag
The following items are optional referee gear that, while highly advisable to
have, most referee associations do not require their referees to have:
1. Ball Gauges (to measure and ensure that soccer balls used during a game are properly
inflated)
2. Ball Pumps
3. Vanishing Referee Spray
Soccer Referee Flags

Soccer referee flags can be grouped into two
categories: (i) regular or traditional soccer
referee flags and (ii) electronic or beeper soccer
referee flags. Both, traditional and electronic
(also called beeper flags), versions of referee
flags come in variety of cloth patterns although the
patterns are always red/yellow color combinations.
In our Referee Store, you can find solid color
soccer referee flags, diamond pattern soccer referee
flags or checkered soccer referee flags. All of these different patterns are acceptable
and it is entirely up to you or your own personal preference which pattern you choose
for your referee flags. For some of the flags offered in our referee store you can buy
replacement cloths so you can swap one pattern for another.
SOCCER REFEREE WHISTLES

Once you sort through your soccer referee flags options, you must turn your
attention to choosing probably the most important instrument in the refereeing craft:
referee whistle. There is a huge variety of referee whistles for sale in our referee
store to meet anyone's budget and preferences. There are so-called fingergrip whistles
that you can conveniently "wear" on your finger as, for example, Fox 40 Finger Grip
Referee Whistle. Or you can choose a whistle with a lanyard like Fox 40 Classic
Referee Whistle. Nowadays, mane whistles are pea-less but we also offer whistles in
traditional style with a pea inside as many referees like their classic sound. And, of
course, we offer selection of whistle from a number of
manufacturers, including the following:
1. Fox 40 Whistles (e.g. Fox 40 Sonik Blast Whistle)
2. Molten Whistles (e.g. Valkeen Whistle, Blazza
Whistle)
3. Acme Whistles (Acme Tornado Referee Whistle)
4. Balilla Whistles (e.g. Micro Referee Whistle)
5. DINsport Whistles (e.g. the Devastator Referee
Whistle)

∏
SOCCER REFEREE CARDS

Soccer Referee Wallet goes without saying that no referee gear can be complete
without a set of referee cards, pen/pencil and or match report pads or score sheets.
You can either buy traditional or write on referee cards. You
can even buy referee cards together with pen/pencil and match
report that come nicely packed inside a referee wallet. And
for those who want to preserve their cards, our referee store
also sells removable write-on stickers that you can attach to
your cards to write on instead of on your cards. Both soccer
referee cards and referee wallets come in different designs.
One of our most popular are Respect Write-On Soccer Referee
Cards and Leather Referee Wallet.
SOCCER REFEREE VANISHING SPRAY

One of the most popular soccer referee gear items is a vanishing referee spray.
They came to use in soccer fairly recently but given how their use has helped the
referees to manage the game, they are guaranteed to stay and become an indispensable
part of referee's equipment. After all, once you mark the spot of the restart and the
distance of the players in the "wall," there will be no ambiguity in
anyone's mind - whether spectators, coaches or players - what the
proper ball or players'
positions are during critical
game situations. Our referee
store gives you a few options,
including a referee spray that
is currently used by referees
at the highest levels Expoline
Referee Vanishing Spray. Our
referee vanishing sprays come
with their own referee spray
holsters to conveniently hold
your spray.

BASIC SKILLS IN FOOTBALL/ SOCCER
BASIC SKILLS IN SOCCER

If you can't kick a ball correctly, you’re not going to go too far as a
footballer. You may think this is obvious but, for many people, the most simple and
basic aspect of the game does not come naturally. For some players it needs a lot of
practice. The more you play football, the more you realise the importance of keeping
possession-the art of passing the ball to a team-mate with good weight and accuracy. To
achieve that, you need to feel comfortable with the ball at your feet and know when and
how to deliver the ball to a colleague.

How to Strike the ball

correctly?
To make a good contact with the ball,

you must get your body into a good position as
you approach it. This will maintain the
correct body shape throughout the strike resulting in a deliberate follow through and,
most importantly, an accurate kick.

∏
When kicking a ball do the following procedure:
1. Avoid using your toe unless you have no other alternative.

2. When possible, try to use the inside, outside, top or instep of the boot
3. For the greatest degree of accuracy when passing or controlling the ball use the
inside of the toot
4. It is important to practise using both feet and not be dependent on one strong
foot.
5. Position your non-kicking toot correctly. It should always be next to the ball as
it is struck and not ahead of or behind the ball. The position of your non-
kicking toot determines the balance and power you generate.
6. Practise regularly and try to master the deterrent ways inside, outside or instep
- of striking the ball. Using both feet too.
7. Check where you are aiming the ball before striking, but remember to keep your
eye on the ball when making the kick.
ACTIVITY

• Make an illustration of the Four Kicking Areas of the Foot using
your own foot.
• Take a picture of the sides of your foot relevant to the kicking
areas in soccer and put a label and description on each area.
• Submit or turn in your activity on your Google Classroom.
1. Dribbling
Outside of passing, dribbling is the
primary method of moving the ball up the field.
This works best when you have open field in front
of you without pressing defenders. Most players
find success using the top of their foot to push
the ball along the ground when passing, and the
more advanced you get the more parts of your foot
you will be able to use when dribbling. The goal
of dribbling is to move the ball quickly while
keeping the ball close to your body, so that you

∏
can make a quick decision to pass, shoot or change direction whenever needed.
Dribbling allows you to move the ball around the field without losing possession.
How to dribble a soccer ball

Most players (including advanced players) dribble incorrectly. Unfortunately,
most coaches don’t teach players proper dribbling technique.
5 Steps to Learn How to Dribble a Soccer Ball
1. Use your arms

When you dribble with speed, move your arms as you would when you sprint
without the ball. Keep your arms out at all times when dribbling around defenders.
You can use them to brush past players, improve your balance, and keep players
farther away from you.
2. Stay in an athletic position

An athletic position will help you remain balanced. Good balance will help you
cut quickly in any direction while retaining control of the ball. When dribbling, you
should feel relaxed and comfortable. Center your position of gravity, bend your knees
slightly, and keep your back straight (or lean forward slightly).
3. Use the front of your feet

Every good speed and agility trainer will tell you to land on the front of your
feet. Landing on your heels will slow you down and reduce your balance. Land on the
front of your feet every step, whether you are dribbling forward with your laces or
cutting across your body using an inside touch.
4. Use your place foot correctly

∏
When you dribble forward your place foot (foot not dribbling the ball)
should push off the ground just like you are sprinting or jogging. When you cut to
change directions your place foot should hop slightly. This makes the movement quick
and natural and helps you retain balance.
5. Raise up your knee

Speed and agility coaches will tell you to raise your knees high to build
momentum (thus increasing speed). Most players have little or no knee movement, which
reduces their speed when dribbling (and running in general).
Having said that, I don’t feel raising your knees super high is necessary. I
improved my dribbling speed when I started lifting them high, but discovered lifting
knees to a moderate height resulted in an ideal speed.
So I recommend raising your knees up to a moderate height to maximize your
dribbling and sprinting speed.
Using the different parts of your feet

There are 4 different parts of your feet, the laces, outside, inside, and sole.
Always use your laces to dribble forward with speed. Don’t imitate players who
use the inside of their feet to dribble forward. This is significantly slower than
using your laces.
When you use your laces to dribble, touch the ball with each step. This is the
key to having the ball “glued” to your feet. When you keep the ball close like
these defenders will have a hard time stealing the ball.
Use the outside, inside, and soles of your feet to cut inside and outside of
your body, to use moves, and to turn. Which part of your foot you should use depends
on the position of the ball and your body. Experiment to see what works best in
different situations
Practicing to Hone Your Skills

∏
Dribbling along the cones

Zigzag around cones help to improve your ball control.
Procedure:
• Set down 6-10 cones or small obstacles (or any marker available in your home),
staggering them slightly about 1 meter each cone.
• Dribble towards the first cone, tapping the ball with your inside foot only.
• Cut sharply around the cone with one side of your foot (right or left), dribble
to the next cone, and repeat.
• Once you’ve gone through with your right foot, switch to dribbling on your left.
• When you’re turning around a cone, try to leave as little space as possible
between the cone and the ball.
• Go through the cones back and forth.
• Repeat the procedure using your outside foot
• Practice the following procedure regularly and if you think you do the procedures

2. Passing
Passing is one of the most fundamental skills in soccer, as it is how you move
the ball from yourself to another teammate. For a short basic pass, you will turn your
foot 90 degrees to the outside and swing your leg so that the inside of your leg makes
contact. If you want to send the ball farther, you will swing your leg with more power
and aim for the lower half of the ball, to pop it into the air and use the inside of
your toes.
How to Pass a Soccer Ball

Passing the ball is one of the main skills in soccer. There are a few different
types of passes that can help get you out of tricky situations. Grab a friend and
start by learning the push pass. Then you can work your way up to the harder moves
like the lofted, chipped, and one-two passes.
Method 1 Learning the Push Pass

1. Use a push pass for a short, direct pass. The push pass is the easiest one to
kick, so start by learning this one. The push pass is also the easiest to intercept.
Make sure that your teammate doesn’t have someone hovering nearby ready to steal the
ball.
The push pass is also known as the direct pass or the forward pass.
2. Place your plant foot even with the ball. Position your plant foot so it faces
your target. The plant foot is the one that will not be kicking and helps keep you
steady. Eventually you can practice kicking with each foot to become a balanced
player, but for the first time, use whichever foot you are more comfortable with.
3. Keep your kicking ankle firm and your body over the ball. Keep your ankle firm,
not floppy, during the kicking and follow-through to protect you from injury. Hold
the toes of your kicking foot slightly higher than the heels. Position your body so
it's facing the person you are kicking toward. It may help to imagine a line going
from your belly button to your target.
4. Kick using the inside of your foot. Don’t kick using the laces, heel, or outside
of the foot when you are first learning. Kick at right angles to the ball at the
midline of the ball. Kicking at the middle of the ball helps keep it on the ground.
It can be hard to stay balanced when you are standing on one foot, so try putting
your arms out.

∏
Method 2 Kicking a Lofted Pass

1. Use a lofted pass if you need to get the ball over your opponents’ heads. If your
opponents are closing in on you, and there is no one you can directly pass the ball
to, the lofted pass is a great move. It’s more advanced than the push pass, but with
practice, you can nail it.
2. Put your plant foot out wide and approach at a 15-degree angle. Like a push pass,
point your plant foot in the direction of the kick, but place it about 6 inches (15
cm) behind and 9 inches (23 cm) outside of the ball.
3. Kick the bottom of the ball with the front of your foot. Use the front of your
foot at about the area where the knuckle of your big toe is. Raise your foot behind
you and keep your body leaned back as you kick the ball. When you make contact with
the ball, keep your ankle firm on the bottom half of the ball. This will scoop the
ball up and into the air. Start by practicing at a low speed, and work your way up to
faster lofted passes.
Method 3 Mastering the Chip Pass

1. Use the chip pass if you have many defenders around you and your teammate is
close. The chipped pass will go a short distance, but it will fly through the air
like a lofted pass. It has more backspin than a lofted pass, so it’s going to stay
in the air longer. Make sure you practice chipping on grass because your foot might
ram into the ground.
2. Run up to the ball at about 45 degrees and plant your foot. Put your plant foot
about 6 inches (15 cm) behind and 9 inches (23 cm) outside of the ball. Point your
kicking foot away from you. Raise your backswing by lifting your foot behind you. The
shorter the backswing, the more control you will have over the ball.
3. Kick the ball as low as possible with your instep. Use your foot to form a wedge
that slides under the ball. Kick with a stabbing motion to send the ball flying up in
the air. Try to use enough backspin to keep it from going too far. Lean back as you
kick and follow through slightly to make the ball go higher. Don’t lean too far
though––you don’t want to fall! Another form of chipping involves kicking with your
toes.

∏
3. Trapping/ Receiving a Pass

Whether you are receiving a pass that is on the ground or traveling through the
air, you will want to square your shoulders to the direction the ball is coming from.
If it is on the ground, turn your foot toward the outside as if you were passing, and
with your knees bent, cushion the ball so it stops right at your feet. For a ball
traveling through the air, you will most likely want to receive the ball with your
chest. Stand with your back arched slightly backwards so when the ball hits your chest,
it will pop gently into the air and then land at your feet, rather than bounce off out
of your control.
How to Trap a Soccer Ball

Trapping a soccer ball is a way of stopping the ball and gaining control of it
quickly. As you gain more experience in soccer, trapping the ball becomes a very
necessary skill used to gain an advantage over the other team. By choosing the right
type of trap to use and knowing how to be ready for a ground or an air trap, you can
impress your teammates and start playing soccer like a pro.
Method 1 Learning Different Types of Traps

1. Use the inside of your foot to stop the ball with an inside trap. The inside trap
is the easiest trap to master and also the most common one in soccer. As the ball moves
toward you, rotate your foot toward the ball so that the inside of your foot is facing
it. Let the ball hit you and move your foot back slightly, cushioning the blow and
keeping the ball close to you.
If the ball is coming at you from an angle, you’ll need to be able to adjust
your footing on the fly. You should always trap the ball with the foot furthest from
it, as this will be easier to rotate to face the ball. You shouldn’t kick the ball as
you go to stop it. The ball should move your foot rather than your foot moving the
ball.
2. Put your foot on the ball to perfect the step trap. Placing one foot on the ball
will stop it completely, allowing you to get your next shot exactly right. As the ball
moves toward you, lift up your dominant foot over the ball and let it hit your heel.
The ball should bounce forward slightly and stop right in front of you.
If you bring your foot down on the ball just as it hits your heel, you can stop
it completely. This is great for lining up a new shot to send the ball to the other end

∏
of the field! Getting the timing of the step trap perfect is the most difficult
part. Keep an eye on the speed of the ball as it comes toward you to make sure you trap
it. As always, practice makes perfect!
3. Practice leaning back slightly for a chest trap. A chest trap will stop a ball
coming toward your torso and drop it down toward your feet. Stay on your toes so you
can move around, and keep your knees slightly bent as the ball comes toward you. Lean
back slightly as the ball hits your chest, letting it bounce forward and land near your
feet.
As with any type of trap or drill in soccer, getting the chest trap right will take a
lot of practice. Find someone who can throw the ball to you and help you adjust to the
movement needed to get the trap perfect. Make sure the ball hits you in the chest
rather than in the stomach or abdomen. Don’t push back against the ball as it hits
you. A trap should keep the ball where it is rather than pushing it away.
4. Lift your dominant leg to catch the ball for a thigh trap. A thigh trap involves
bouncing the ball off the middle of your upper leg to gain control of it quickly. As
the ball comes toward you, lift one of your legs so your thigh is slightly diagonal.
Let the ball hit the middle of your thigh and begin straightening your legs as it falls
toward your feet.
Make sure the ball hits in the softer part of your thigh near the middle. If it
hits your knee it will bounce off at an unpredictable angle, and if it hits too high up
on your leg you might catch it in your gut instead. Your thigh should be at an angle of
around 110-degrees from your torso. This will help the ball drop in front of you,
rather than bouncing straight up or sending it too far away.
5. Stay calm when attempting a head trap. If you can move past your instinct to duck
out of the way, trapping the ball with your head can stop more difficult shots. Stay on
your toes to move into the path of the ball and let it bounce off of your forehead. The
ball should lose momentum against your head and drop down in front of you.
This is a different move than heading a soccer ball. You should allow the ball to
move your head back slightly, rather than pushing against the ball to move it forward.
Heading the ball will send it far away rather than giving you better control of it.
Method 2 Trapping a Ground Pass

1. Move into the path of the ball. Keep your eye on the ball as it moves in your
direction to work out where you can intercept it. Stay on the balls of your feet and
move quickly so you can get into the balls path when it's coming your way. Be ready to
adjust your positioning if someone else touches the ball and changes its path. Don’t
assume you’re in the right place to trap the ball until you’ve touched it.
2. Choose between the step trap for more control and the inside trap for more agility.
Both the step trap and the inside trap have their pros and cons, so you’ll need to be
able to quickly chose the right one for the situation you’re in. Use the step trap if

∏
you have time to gain control of the ball, and go with the inside trap to get
control of the ball more quickly. If you’ve practiced both types of ground trap for
long enough, you should be able to make this choice almost without thinking. Go with
whatever seems best for the moment rather than overthinking what you’ll do.
3. Trap the ball and keep on moving. Using whichever trap you think is best for the
situation, trap the ball to slow it down and bring it under your control. Once you’ve
got it, keep the ball moving by passing it to a teammate or dribble it past the other
team. Don’t worry if you make a mistake or have the ball taken off of you; it just
gives you another chance to practice trapping the ball.
Method 3 Trapping an Air Pass

1. Anticipate where the ball will land and where you need to be. If the ball is flying
through the air toward you, you’ll need to be able to move quickly to where you think
the ball will be. Stay on the balls of your feet and watch the ball as it travels.
Focus on the arc of the ball and try to position yourself where you think it will land.
It can take some practice to be able to work out where you need to be to trap a
ball. Don’t worry if you don’t get it exactly right the first time. It’s always
better to be behind the ball than in front of it when you’re trying to trap it. If
you’re too far back to trap the ball in the air, you may still be able to trap it on
the ground.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lean back slightly. When you’ve
found the right place to stand to trap the ball, get in a comfortable stance to
intercept it. Keep your feet apart so that you can keep your balance. Lean back
slightly to keep an eye on the ball as it comes toward you.
Over time, you should find yourself standing in this position naturally. If
you’re still learning, move into a stance that you’re comfortable with - it’s much
better to be in the right place and looking at the ball than trying to get your stance
exactly right!
3. Trap the ball with your head, chest or thigh. Watch the ball as it comes closer to
you and judge the height it will be at when you intercept it. Let the ball hit your
head, chest, or thigh and move your body back softly to cushion its momentum.
If the ball seems too high to trap it with your head, take a step or two backward to
get into a better position. Similarly, if the ball is too low for a thigh trap, you
should either move forward to get a better position or move backward to attempt a
ground trap instead.
It’s safer to move forward or backward to trap the ball, rather than trying to
duck or jump to catch it. Ducking or jumping will likely make you lose control of the
ball and your body. It might be difficult to focus on getting the trap exactly right if
you’re under the pressure of a big game. Try not to overthink it. Let the instincts
you built up when practicing kick in to help trap the ball.

∏
4. Drop the ball toward your feet and follow its movement. The ball should
bounce lightly away from you and fall toward your feet. Keep watching its motion and
start moving in the direction that it’s going. Once you have control of the ball, you
can pass it to someone else or continue dribbling it toward the goal!
4. Heading
How to Head a Soccer Ball

Soccer players may use their feet and heads to pass to teammates, clear the ball,
and score on goal. When executed correctly, a header is a safe and effective method of
moving the soccer ball around the field. Before executing this skill in a game, master
the proper technique at practice.
Method 1 Mastering the Basics

1. Prepare to head the ball. As the soccer ball approaches, you must maintain eye
contact with the ball and acquire your balance. Execute these steps at the same time:
• Keep your eyes open and focused on the ball.
• Close your mouth.
• Plant both of your feet firmly on the ground. If you are right handed, your left
foot should be slightly forward; if you are left handed, your right foot should
be slightly forward.[1]
2. Gain momentum. Once you are braced for the ball's arrival, you need to gain
momentum by bending your knees. This will increase your momentum and balance. These
movements occur simultaneously:
• Bend slightly at your knees.
• Bend backwards at your waist and arch your back.
• Tuck your chin.
3. Head the ball. Your risk for head injuries increases when you passively allow the
ball to hit you. When the ball arrives within heading distance, you need to propel
yourself towards the ball in order to actively hit it. This series of movements begins
at your hips:
• As you bend forward at the hips, thrust your head and chin forwards and drive
your arms backwards.
• Hit the ball with the center of your forehead along your hairline.
• In a game situation, you may need to jump up to reach the ball.

∏
Method 2 Learning to Head the Ball through Drills

1. Tap the ball with your forehead. This drill teaches players how to move their head
towards the ball. It also teaches players how to consistently contact the ball on the
correct area of their forehead. Players will also enhance their ability to remain
focused on the incoming ball.
• Have a coach hold the ball four inches from your forehead. When you nod your
head, the ball should hit the center of your forehead along your hairline.
• Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.
• While looking at the ball, tap your head against the soccer ball several times.
• Repeat.
• Once you have mastered this, take the ball from your coach and hold it above your
own forehead. Nod your forehead into the ball as your eyes remain focused on the
ball. Do not pull the ball towards your head.
• Repeat.
2. Knock the ball off your coach’s hand. This drill reinforces players’ knowledge of
how to move their head. It provides them with additional practice of contacting the
ball in the correct area of their forehead. This exercise also further develops their
ability to remain focused on an incoming ball.
• Stand up.
• Have a coach stand 90° to your left or right.
• The coach stretches out their arm and places a ball on their palm four inches
from your forehead. When you nod your head, the ball should hit the center of
your forehead along your hairline.
• Keep your mouth closed and your eyes open.
• Tap the ball with your forehead, knocking the soccer ball from your coach’s
hand.
• Repeat.
3. Tap the ball from your knees. This drill teaches players how to propel their body
towards the ball at their waist. It also allows players to practice tucking their chin.
Instead of executing this drill from your knees, you may sit on your heels or on the
ground.
• Place your knees on the ground.
• Have a coach stand in front of you while holding a ball four inches from your
forehead. When your head contacts the ball, it should hit the center of your
forehead along your hairline.
• Simultaneously bend backwards from your waist and tuck your chin.
• Bend forward from the waist and nod your forehead into the soccer ball.
• Repeat.
4. Tap the ball from your feet. After you have mastered tapping the ball from your
knees, you can progress to tapping the ball from a standing position. In this drill,

∏
players learn how increase their stability through the proper placement of their
feet. They also will continue to work on propelling their body forward from their hips.
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. If you are right handed, your left
foot should be slightly forward; if you are left handed, your right foot should
be slightly forward.
• Have a coach stand in front of you while holding a ball four inches from your
forehead. When your head contacts the ball, it should hit the center of your
forehead along your hairline.
• Bend backwards at your waist and tuck your chin.
• Bend forward at the waist and tap your forehead against the stationary ball.
5. Head a tossed ball. This drill teaches players how to head a ball in motion. As you
improve, gradually increase the distance between you and the coach by one-foot
increments. The coach may also gradually increase the intensity of the throw, but never
the arc.
• Stand three feet in front of a coach. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. If
you are right handed, your left foot should be slightly forward; if you are left
handed, your right foot should be slightly forward.
• The coach gently underhand tosses the ball in a slight arch towards your
forehead.
• As the ball approaches you, bend backwards at the waist and tuck your chin.
• Just before the ball reaches your forehead, bend forward at the waist and contact
the ball. Try to head the ball back at the coach’s waist.
• Repeat.
Method 3 Heading the Ball in Different Situations

1. Execute a defensive header. Defensive players commonly use headers to clear the
ball away from the goal. The objects of the defensive header are to move the ball away
from the center of the field and as far down the field as possible. To execute this
header, position your body towards the outside of the field and hit the bottom of the
ball as hard as you can with the center of your forehead near your hairline.
2. Execute a flick header. Players use the flick header to pass the ball from teammate
to teammate. Both offensive and defensive players use this form of header. To execute
the flick header, hit the ball on the top of your head as you simultaneously move your
head up and backwards.
3. Head the ball into the goal. There are three types of headers you can use to score
on goal. These include an offensive header, diving header, and glancing header.
Offensive headers used to place the ball low in the goal; diving headers are executed
when the ball is too far out in front of your foot to kick with any appreciable force;
glancing headers are used to fake out the goalie.
Offensive headers: Effective offensive headers are kept low and directed towards
the ground. Head the ball down and away from the goalie.

∏
Diving headers: When you dive towards the ball, the momentum of your entire body
propels the ball towards its target. As you dive at the ball, focus on contacting the
ball with your forehead and directing the ball towards the goal. Try to land the dive
on your chest and arms. Do not break the fall with your wrists.
Glancing header: This cross-body header is used to fake out goalies. In order to
execute this header effectively, you must learn how to direct the ball with your
forehead. If you want to head the ball to the left, try to hit the right side of the
ball; if you want to head the ball to the right, try to hit the left side of the ball.
Do not use the side of your head to hit the ball.
5. Shooting
There are a number of unconventional ways to score a goal, but the fundamental
way to try to score is by taking a shot. When shooting, your plant foot follow through
and where you contact the ball are all important. You will want to place your non-
shooting foot just outside the ball, with your toe pointing at the direction you are
aiming to shoot. Swing your leg through the ball, aiming higher on the ball if you want
to keep it low or lower on the ball if you want to send it through the air. Follow
through with your shooting leg, in a hopping motion that brings your plant foot off the
ground, and land on the foot you shot with for the most power.
How to Shoot a Soccer Ball

Shooting the ball with power and accuracy is an important skill for any soccer
player to have. The best way to develop proper technique is by practicing. A good shot
includes judging the situation on the field as well as planting your non-kicking foot
and driving your leg forward with power. Become a better shooter and watch your goal
tally soar!
Method 1 Kicking the Ball

1. Look up before kicking the ball. Before shooting, glance up at the field in front
of you. Focus as much as possible on where you want the ball to go. Note where the
other players are including the defenders, goalie, and your teammates. Use this
information to adjust your shot or pass when a teammate has a better shot opportunity.
• You may notice some professional players shooting without looking up. Through in-
game experience, they develop a sense of their positioning on the field. This
most often happens close to the goal, since looking up delays the shot a little.
2. Keep your eye on the ball. Look back down at the ball and keep looking at it until
you kick it. Doing this leads to stronger, more accurate shots.

∏
3. Run towards the ball with even strides. Keep the strides you take the same
length they would be while running. Avoid stretching forward too far or taking a series
of short steps, since this throws off your balance.
• When kicking a still ball, stand only far enough back that you can reach the ball
in 3 or 4 steps.
4. Plant your non-kicking foot next to the ball. Where you place this foot determines
where the ball will travel. Place it beside the ball, about shoulder width away from
your other foot. A good, medium distance should feel comfortable to you. Keep your toes
pointed straight ahead to the goal.
• Placing your foot further away from the ball helps when you need to lift the ball
more, such as when kicking over a wall of defenders.
5. Bring your kicking leg back as far as possible. The further you can bring your leg
back, the more power you’ll generate. Bend your leg at the knee and keep your toes
pointed downwards. In the perfect kicking position, your leg looks like it’s in the
shape of a “V.”
Stretch your legs often to increase your flexibility.
6. Hold your ankle in place. This is also called locking your ankle. Your foot should
still be pointed downwards, straight and firm. Your ankle shouldn’t wiggle at all as
you kick the ball. Any movement weakens your shot.
7. Stand straight as you kick. Staying in a neutral position gives you maximum control
over the ball’s flight. Leaning a little, if it feels natural to you, is fine, but
don’t try to lean more. Instead, focus on turning to face the goal.
If the ball often flies over the net, you may be leaning back too much. If it stays
lower than you’d like, you may be leaning forward too much.
8. Target the middle of the ball. Pick out the spot where your foot will strike the
ball. Most of the time, this is the part of the ball closest to you. Kicking it in the
center gives you control over your shot while also generating lots of power.
• To raise your shot in the air more, kick the ball a little lower than center.
• To bend the ball, kick left or right of center. Kicking on the left causes the
ball to curve to the right. Kicking on the right side causes it to arc to the
left.
9. Strike the ball with the laces of your shoe for a more powerful shot. Bring your
foot forward. Hit the ball with the top part of your foot to generate powerful but
accurate shots. This is the kind of shot you’ll need on most occasions.
• To bend your shot more, strike the ball with the side of your toes.
10. Kick the ball with the side of your foot for a more accurate shot. As you approach
the ball, turn your foot to the side. Hit the ball with the inside edge of your foot.
Your shot won’t be as strong, but the increase in accuracy is good for shots near the
goal or when the defense doesn’t give you a lot of space.

∏
11. Follow through with your kicking leg. After striking the ball, don’t stop moving.
Bring your kicking leg through at a medium height. Step through and plant your leg on
the ground. A bad follow-through causes your shot to fall short of the target or fly
wildly off-course.
• To make the ball go higher, lift your leg into the air more during the follow-
through.
Method 2 Shooting While Running
1. Push the ball ahead of you. To get a good shot, the ball can’t be close to your
body. Tap the ball a step or two ahead of your kicking foot. Push it directly ahead of
you to set up a normal, straight kick. Move it slightly to the side when you need to
bend your kick or change your angle
• Take moderate strides towards the ball. The best shot happens when you don’t
slow down or change your stride much when approaching the ball.
• To practice this, start by approaching the ball with slow, even strides. Increase
the speed once this feels comfortable.
2. Plant your foot ahead of the ball. Planting your foot is the same as a normal kick,
except the ball is rolling. If you plant your non-kicking foot next to the ball, the
ball will roll past it. When done perfectly, the ball will be even with your foot when
you kick it.
• Remember to point your toes on the foot that is planted towards the goal!
3. Kick the ball as you normally would. Use the same approach that you learned before
when kicking the ball. Draw back your foot, lock your ankle, and follow through with
your shot. Soon, the shots you take while running will be as perfect as the ones you
take while standing still!
Method 3 Choosing Where to Shoot

1. Take shots at distances comfortable to you. Glance up at the field to see where you
are in relation to the ball. Recall how well you shoot during practice. If you don't
have a lot of power, shooting from distance won't do you any good. You'd score more
goals by being closer to the ball to get a better shot.
• Practice taking shots at all sorts of ranges and angles to prepare for any
situation that arises during a game.
2. Pay attention to the goalkeeper’s positioning. The goalie (or keeper) may stand to
the side, exposing one side of the goal. They may also cheat to one side, leaning over
or beginning to run before you shoot. Surprise them by shooting in the opposite
direction!

∏
3. Shoot across the goalie. Normally your best bet is to shoot towards the opposite
side of the net. If you’re on the right side, shoot towards the left part of the goal.
The goalie usually will be closer to you and will have to move farther to reach the
ball
• This isn’t always your best option. If you’re very close to one side of the
goal, someone’s blocking the other side, or a defender is approaching, you may
not be able to aim at the other side.
4. Aim towards the corners or side netting of the goal. Normally, the goalie stands in
the middle of the goal, leaving the sides open. Force the goalie to dive to make the
save, if possible. Make use of the side netting, since it's a big target when you're
shooting from the sides of the field.
• Although players enjoy aiming for the upper corners, more goals are scored in the
lower corners!
5. Shoot above or below the keeper. Shooting the ball to the side means the goalie has
to stretch to make the save. A goalie can easily move from side to side, but it’s more
difficult to stretch upwards or downwards. Even the best goalies can’t always reach
the corners of the goal.
• Where you aim depends on the situation, but avoid shooting at a medium height as
much as possible.
• Shooting low is also great when there’s lots of defenders in front of you. It
can lead to goals on deflections or rebounds.
6. Kick the ball in the air when defenders are in front of you. If you can’t push the
ball past them to get a better angle, you can still take a shot. Strike the ball
slightly below center. This lifts the ball in the air more, putting it over defenders
or chipping a goalie that runs forward.
6. Goal Keeping
The goalkeeper is the last line of defense, in charge of doing whatever possible
to keep the ball out of the net. As goalie, you can use your entire body, including
your hands and arms, to stop the ball. The best way for a goalie to catch the ball is
to form a "W" with your thumbs and index fingers, with your hands open and palms facing
away from you. This will help you catch a ball traveling at a high speed without it
going through your hands. The other fundamental skill for goalies is punting, which is
how you distribute the ball up field after making a save. Hold the ball over your
dominant foot, and then drop the ball as you swing your foot, making contact and

∏
sending the ball through the air. Land on your "shooting" foot on your follow
through like you are taking a shot.
How to Be a Goal Keeper

Want to be the best Goalkeeper in town? Here are some things you can do to
improve your game.
1. Keep your hips pointed towards the ball at all times. Keep your eyes on the ball.
This way you'll always be prepared for the shot. Never turn your back to the field.
2. Rely on the "W". Place both hands next to each other so that the thumbs are
touching to create W shape. Use this when catching higher balls and it will be much
more effective. Always keep your hands over top of the ball when you catch it so that
it falls down to your feet if you can't hold on to it. It's much better to have the
ball loose at your feet than to have it loose going through your hands into the net.
3. Shout! In order for your teammates to know whether to rely on you or to help, you
have to communicate. This also helps when a teammate is not doing their job.
4. Stay loose. If you're always tense, getting hit with the ball will hurt more, than
if you are relaxed.
5. Always be positioned a couple feet in front of the goal line. This helps shorten
the open areas for the other team to shoot into.
6. Always be on the balls of your feet, knees slightly bent and your weight evenly
distributed (be balanced). When a shot is taken, while you're in the goal, always move
so you are in front of the ball.
7. Always be aware of everything that is going on the field. Be ready to rush out at
the ball if necessary. When you rush out make sure to be on your toes. When approaching
an attacker, dive horizontally at his/her feet. Make sure to cover all the angles. Do
not shy away from the ball
8. Watch their feet, not their eyes. The way their feet are positioned before kicking
a ball can show you ahead of time where they are kicking.
9. On corner kicks, be ready to rush out and punch the ball out of the air.

Laws of the Game and

PART Referees Hand Signals and
Flag Signals
Overview:
This lesson contains the explanation of the 17 Rules for Soccer from the Laws of
the Game and the Referees Hand Signals and Flag Signals. In sports, rules define what
is allowed or not allowed to occur during situations on and off the field. Rules govern
anything from wearing proper uniforms to how to keep score during games of different
levels of competition. The rules of a game apply to players, coaches and officials, and
vary among different sports and age groups. FIFA is the Fédération Internationale de
Football Association. When it comes to picking up the game or teaching aspiring soccer
players, knowing these established rules is an essential part of learning the game. The
official FIFA "Laws of the Game" gets translated into English, French, German, and
Spanish and is an excellent resource for coaches, referees, and fans. FIFA Laws of the
Game contains the 17 essential points: The Field, Designated Ball, Player Numbers,
Jerseys and Gear, Role of the Referee, Assistant Referees, Match Length,
Starting/Stopping Pla, Ball In-Play or Out-of-Play, Determining a Goal, Offsides,
Fouls, Free Kicks, Penalty Kicks, Throw-Ins, Goal Kicks, and Corner Kicks. Football
must have Laws which keep the game ‘fair’ as a crucial foundation of the beauty of
the ‘beautiful game’ is its fairness – this is a vital feature of the ‘spirit’ of
the game. The best matches are those where the referee is rarely needed as the players
play with respect for each other, the match officials and the Laws. The integrity of
the Laws, and the referees who apply them, must always be protected and respected. All
those in authority, especially coaches and team captains, have a clear responsibility
to the game to respect the match officials and their decisions.
Objectives:
Understand the rules and regulation/ laws of the game of football/ soccer
Develop the skills in hand signals and flag signals used by the referee in
football/ soccer.
Execute correctly the different hand signals and flag signals used by the referee
in soccer

LAWS OF THE GAME

∏
1. The 17 Rules for Soccer from the

Laws of the Game
This soccer constitution that was the Laws of the Game now holds 17 specific key
points that determine the rules of soccer. Let's go through each and explain them in
more detail.
1. The Field of Play

The field of play is the surface on which the game of soccer is
played on. This law regulates everything regarding line
markings, soccer pitch dimensions and how to use them properly.
For example, a soccer pitch must be between 90 and 120 meters long
and 45 to 90 meters wide. However, it must also have a rectangular
shape, so you can't have a square field with a length and width of
90 at the same time.
Other basic rules of soccer and field measurements are
specified in this law, such as the dimensions of each goal (7.32
meters long and 2.44 meters high), the diameter of the center
circle (18.30 meters) or the distance between the penalty spot and
the goal (11 meters, perpendicularly on the goal).
2. The Ball
Throughout the time, the rules for soccer regarding the football
remained the same, but the way in which they were applied was on a
constant change. The rules state that the soccer bull must have a
circumference between 68 and 70 centimeters and a weight between
410 and 450 grams but they also state that the ball can be made
out of "leather or any similar material".
Well that "any similar material" bit constantly improved
over time and nowadays soccer balls reached near-perfection.
Almost each World Cup brought a new type of soccer ball, with
improved characteristics, although all of them stayed inside the
official soccer rules stated in the Laws.
3. The Number of Players

According to the official soccer rules, a team can bring in 10
outfield players and one goalkeeper on the pitch and can have several
substitutes on the bench. The numbers of benched subs as well as the

∏
actual number of substitutions that are allowed in a single match vary with the
type of the game played. For example, in official matches only 3 substitutions are
allowed, with 5, 7 or 9 players on the bench.
In friendlies however, a coach can fit in as many players as he wants on the
bench and usually he can also make as many substitutions as he needs. In the past, the
official soccer rules regarding substitutions were a lot stricter than this.
4. The Player's Equipment

Just like with the soccer ball, soccer equipment maintained most of
the original rules in the Laws of the Game, but the way people
interpret them today is quite different from how they did back in
1863. Basically the rules of soccer say that a player must wear a
shirt or jersey, footwear, shin pads, shorts and socks and the two
teams must have different equipment so that they can be
differentiated on the pitch.
Back then however, a soccer jersey was a largely uncomfortable
one and it was very simple, without too many details strapped on it. Today's jerseys
are very light and comfortable and on many occasions they have the club's sponsors
imprinted on them, they have the number of the player (and the name in some cases) on
the back and the club's badge on the chest. These are not enforced by the soccer rules,
but they have become common standards in today's game.
5. The Referee
Well the man in black (or more recently phosphorus green) is probably
the biggest "invention" that came with the initial
soccer rules constitution and his role is to enforce these official
rules of soccer "in connection to the match he has been appointed to".
The center referee is accompanied and helped by two assistant
referees (one on each side of the pitch) and a fourth one that handles
small issues like showing injury time duration, checking a substitute
player's equipment and replacing one of the three main referees if
they can't continue the game.
6. The Assistant Referees

As I explained above, the assistant referees are placed on the sides
of the pitch (one each) and their main role is to help the main
referee with some decisions. Actually, the assistant referee has no
decision power, he can only signal a game issue (an offside, a foul,
handball and so forth) but it's up to the central ref if he's or she
is going to take up the assistant's advice.
7. The Duration of the Match

∏
Standard adult games are limited by the official soccer rules to

two halves of 45 minutes each, separated by a 15 minutes break.
This is not the actual time of play, since this 90 minute clock
ticks even when the ball is out of play, during substitutions and
so forth. In order to try to balance this timing a bit, the end of
each half also brings a few minutes of "injury time" on the table.
In some cases, when the match must have a winner (a knockout
match for example), two extra mini-periods of 15 minutes each,
with no break between them are added. If the match is tied at the
end of extra time as well, the players go on for a penalty-shootout that will
eventually decide the winner.
8. The Start and Restart of Play

There are 8 reasons for which the game can be stopped and similarly, 8
ways to restart it. Each period of time starts with a kick-off (1) and
the game is also restarted with a kick-off if a team scores a goal. If
the ball goes out on the side lines, the player who last touched the
ball conceded a throw-in (2). The game is restarted with the other team
throwing the ball back into play.
The goal kick (3) is awarded to the defending team, if the attacking team took
the ball out of play on the defending team's goal line. The game is restarted with the
goalkeeper kicking it from within the safety box. If the defending team touches the
ball last and it goes over their own goal line, outside of the goal itself, then the
opposing team earns a corner kick (4) and they will be required to restart the game
from the corner nearest to where the ball went out.
An indirect free kick (5) is awarded when a team produces a non-penal foul (dangerous
play or offside for example) and the game is restarted with a ground kick that cannot
be taken towards goal (if a player scores directly from an indirect free kick, without
another player touching the ball, the goal won't stand). A direct free kick (6) is
caused by a foul or handball and unlike the indirect free kick it can be struck
directly towards the goal.
A penalty kick (7) is similar to a direct free kick in that it is caused by a foul or
handball, but the offence occurs inside the defending team's penalty area. The game is
restarted with one of the attacking team's players shooting for goal from the penalty
spot (11 meters, perpendicularly on goal), with nothing but a goalkeeper to beat.
The last of these eight soccer rules is rarer and it's called the dropped ball (8).
The dropped ball occurs when the referee stops the game for a special reason (an
injured player, ball becoming defective or the interference of an external factor) and
the game is restarted with him dropping the ball from shoulder height in front of two
players who will battle for possession (sort of how basketball matches decide initial
possession).

∏
9. Ball In and Out of Play

According to the official soccer rules, the ball is in play all
throughout the match duration, except when it passes a bounding line
(goal lines and touch lines), when an offence occurs or when play is
stopped by the referee. In these particular cases, the ball is out of
play and the soccer players cannot score goals or interact with the
ball. In addition, substitutions can only occur when the ball is out
of play according to the rules for the game of soccer.
10. The Methods of Scoring

As long as the ball is in play and no infringements of any soccer
rules are being made, the players can score goals. A goal is
considered when the ball crosses one of the goal areas with its
entire circumference. Goals can be scored from action, from penalty
spots and direct free kicks.
11. The Offside

Since this is one of the trickiest rules of soccer today, I've decided
to explain it in detail in a separate article on offside soccer rules.
12. Fouls and Misconduct

There's a difference between fouls and misconduct that many people fail to understand.
A foul can occur when a player tries to get the ball from his opponent
and kicks him or pushes him away accidentally, whereas misconduct means
that a player willfully targets his opponent and punches, kicks or pushes
him away.
Fouls can only occur when the ball is in play, but misconduct can
occur when it's out of play as well. Depending on the seriousness of the
foul or misconduct, the referee can penalize it with a yellow or red card
in addition to a free kick or penalty kick.
13. Free Kicks

I've explained most of the soccer rules regarding free kicks in "Soccer
Rule Number 8 – The Start and Restart of Play". One additional soccer
rule worth mentioning is that players from the opposing team must be at
least 9.15 meters away from the position where the free kick will be
struck. Also, the player that kicks the ball initially on a free kick
cannot touch it again until a teammate or opposing player touches it.

∏
14. Penalty Kicks

Penalty kicks are conceded when a defended player fouls or commits
handball inside the 18 yard box (commonly known as the penalty box).
It's important to know that not all offences inside the penalty box are
punished with a penalty kick. For example, if a player commits dangerous
play inside his own penalty box, the referee will award an indirect free
kick from the place that the offence occurred.
When the penalty kick is taken, the only two players in the 18
yard box are the penalty taker and the defending team's goalkeeper. Everyone else must
sit outside the box and can only move towards the ball once it is kicked. So if the
penalty is saved by the goalkeeper or strikes the bar, a player could run from the edge
of the box and gain possession.
15. The Throw In

When the ball goes out of play on the side lines, the opponent of the
player who last touched the ball will take a throw in. The throwing
method has to follow some rather strict rules; otherwise the referee
might dictate a throw in for the other team. The player taking the
throw must keep his feet outside the side line, with the sole on the
ground and the actual throw must be executed with the ball over the
thrower's head.
16. The Goal Kick

The goal kick is a means of restarting play after the attacking team
took the ball over the defending team's byline. The goal kick acts as
a direct free kick, so if a player would kick the ball so hard that it
would reach the opposing team's goal and score, the goal would
count. One extra soccer rule regarding the goal kick states that the
kick must be powerful enough to pass the penalty area. So in case the
goalkeeper executes the goal kick and passes the ball to a teammate in
his own penalty box, the goal kick is re-taken.
17. The Corner Kick

The last of the 17 rules of soccer refers to the corner kick, which
occurs when the ball passes over the defending player's goal line,
with a defender having touched the ball last. The corner kick acts as
a direct free kick taken from the corner of the pitch (if the ball
passes the line on the left of the goal, the corner is taken from the
left corner and if it passes on the right, the corner is taken from
the right corner). The same rules as for a direct free kick apply, in
that opposing players must be at least 9.15 meters away from the
corner, the corner taker may score directly from the corner kick and the kicker can't

∏
play the ball a second time until it's touched by another player. The only
additional rule is that the ball be placed in the corner arc.
Well that's pretty much all you need to know about soccer and soccer rules. Most
of these rules seem harder than they actually are on paper and if you watch a couple of
matches you'll soon get the hang of them naturally. The only one that requires some
special attention is the offside soccer rule, which indeed can be harder to understand
without the proper explanation, so check out the offside article on the site for a more
detailed clarification on that.

∏
2. Referee Hand Signals and Flag

Signals
Learning the various hand signals used by soccer referees will help you whether
you're a player or a spectator. With over 200 million participants around the world,
soccer is truly a global sport. Even though the sport itself is played and watched by
people speaking many different languages, the hand signals used by referees are, for
the most part, the same. Learning them involves recognizing different hand movements
and gestures and the flag system. The system is practical, so learning it is relatively
straightforward.

∏
How to Understand Soccer Referee Signals
Method 1 Comprehending the On-Field Referee

1. See the referee show advantage by pointing forward after foul play. The referee
puts out both of their arms parallel in front of them, pointing towards the goal of the
team that has the advantage. It's important to note that the referee does not blow the
whistle for this signal.
• An advantage is played when one team has committed a minor foul, but the other
team is perceived to have an advantage. Therefore, instead of calling foul, the
referee lets the play continue and shows the advantage signal.
• For example, if a defender fouls the attacker, but the attacker still has a
chance for a shot at goal, the referee shows the advantage signal.
• With more severe fouls, the referee stops the play immediately and gives a free-
kick to the team that had the foul committed on them.
2. Notice the whistle and the referee pointing forward for a direct free kick. The
referee blows the whistle and, with the hand that is not holding the whistle, they
point (at no specific angle) in the attacking direction of the team that is receiving
the free kick. Make sure to only stop play if the ref blows the whistle.
• For example, the referee may award a direct free kick to a team if a player on
the other team, who is not the goalkeeper, touches the ball with their hands.
• This is the most common form of signal you see during games. Referees award free
kicks for minor/mid-level fouls, where the ref judges that receiving team does
not have an advantage.
3. Observe the referee pointing up for an indirect free kick. For this signal, the
referee blows the whistle and, with their free hand, points directly towards the sky.
The referee then explains who is receiving the free kick and what for. They will also
hold their hand up in the air for a few seconds while they explain which team is
receiving the free kick.
• Indirect free kicks are different from free kicks in that you are not allowed to
shoot at the goal. If you were to score from an indirect free kick, and the ball
had not touched someone else on the field, the goal would not count.
• Indirect free kicks are much less common than direct free kicks. However, one
example of how one may be awarded is if a team passes the ball back to their
goalkeeper, and the goalkeeper touches it with their hands.
4. Note that the ref will point at the penalty spot for a penalty kick. To indicate a
penalty kick, the referee blows the whistle and points directly at the penalty spot of
the team that has been awarded the penalty. Listen for a long, firm blow of the
whistle, rather than a short sharp blow.
• Penalty kicks are relatively rare in soccer. The ref awards them to the attacking
team when a foul is committed in the goal box.

∏
• In a penalty kick situation, the attacking team gets a shot at the goal 1
on 1 with the goalkeeper, from the penalty spot.
• An example of a penalty offence would be if someone touched the ball with their
hands in the soccer net.
5. Understand that medium level offences are signified with a yellow card. If a player
receives a yellow card, this is considered a warning. If a player receives a second
yellow card, this is equal to one red card, and the player is ejected from the field.
• The referee takes the card out of their pocket, points it at the player, and then
points it in the air. After this, they write the details of the offence in their
notebook.
• An example of a yellow card offence is a harsh tackle where the tackler didn't
make any contact with the ball.
6. Recognize that severe offences are acknowledged with a red card. A ref gives a red
card for severe offences or for multiple yellow cards. If the ref gives the player a
red card for receiving 2 yellow cards, the ref will point the yellow card at them
first, followed by the red card.
• The referee will point the red card at them and then hold it straight up in the
air, just like with a yellow card.
• An example of an offence for a red card might be a player punching another
player. A player that receives a red card is ejected from the field and is
allowed no further part in the game.
Method 2 Understanding the Sideline Referees

1. Notice the sideline ref pointing to the corner for a corner kick. The sideline
referee runs down to the corner flag on their side of the field and, using the flag
they are holding, points down at the corner spot. They do not blow a whistle when they
do this.
• An example of when you see this is when an attacker takes a shot at goal and a
defender deflects the ball out of bounds behind the goal.
• Sideline referees carry a portable flag with them around the field. They use this
flag for a variety of signals, including corner kicks.
• The sideline referee runs up and down the field. There is one sideline referee
for each half of the field. Once play passes out of their half, they stand at the
halfway line until play comes back into their half.
2. Watch the sideline referee point in one direction for the throw-in signal. Once the
ball crosses out of the field of play, the sideline referee runs to where the ball
crossed into the out-of-bounds zone. When they arrive, they point their flag in the
direction of the throw-in. This is the attacking direction of the team who has the
throw-in.

∏
• If the ball goes out and it is not in a sideline referee's half of the
field, they only show which direction the throw is in if it is an obvious call.
If it is not an obvious call, the on-field referee makes the decision of which
direction the throw-in is.
• A ball is 'out' once the entire ball has crossed the line marking the field of
play. If the ball is only half out, play continues.
3. Note that the ref will stop and point their flag for an offside. The offside
offence is shown by the sideline referee standing still in line with the offside player
and pointing their flag directly out into the field of play. Their arm will be
perpendicular to their body. The sideline referee does not blow a whistle when an
offside occurs.
• The offside rule is a little bit confusing to understand. An offside is called
when a team is attacking and they pass the ball to a player on their team who is
in front of them. If the player who receives the pass was in front of the last
player of the defending team when the pass was made, an offside is called.
• For example, the sideline ref puts up their flag if an attacking player passed
the ball to a teammate who, when the player passing the ball makes contact with
it, is closer to the goal than all of the defenders on the other team.
• The rule is in place to make sure that players cannot simply camp out in their
opponents' half of the field and receive long passes from their teammates.
4. Observe the sideline referees making a rectangle for a substitution. For this
signal, the sideline referees run to halfway along the side of the field, and make a
rectangle above their head with their arms and the flag. They usually hold this signal
for 5-10 seconds, so people get a chance to see it.
• There will also often be someone holding a board with the number off the player
coming off, in red, and the number of the player going on, in green.
• Both of the sideline referees usually make this signal.
