Learning to soccer moves is very long and complicated
process for most. However, there is a systematic approach that can
speed both soccer players and soccer coaches along very rapidly.
FOLLOW our simple soccer
learning and training rules / guidelines and you will make
tremendous progress in a very short time.
Rule Number One:
Great soccer players are like plants. They all grow from the roots
up. Give them strong soccer roots and you will have a strong
FUTURE player. Only focus on the EARLY BLOSSOM and they will
wither away once they start to feel the HEAT.

Rule
Number Two: TEACH THEM TO KICK FIRST. Some where, some place, some how, some
idiot who thought they were a genius made this statement. "Kids will
learn how to kick a ball over time; just let them play the game."
Well this idiot has ruined many
soccer players that have now played the game for over 8 years and
still can't kick a soccer ball properly.

Rule
Number Three:
Always tie training and practice sessions into something fun. It is
what we call the transition. Even the Pros and their soccer coaches
know that soccer players are all kids at heart. They love the game
because it is a game and fun.

Soccer 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
(the soccer ball) and
two teams of eleven players
each compete to get the ball
into the other team's goal,
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 a
draw. There are exceptions
to this rule, however; see
Duration and tie-breaking
methods below.
The primary
rule is that the players
(other than the goalkeepers)
may not intentionally touch
the ball with their hands or
arms during play (though
they do use their hands
during a throw-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 soccer
game play, players attempt
to propel the ball toward
their opponents' goal
through individual control
of the ball, such as by
dribbling, passing the ball
to a team-mate, and by
taking shots at the goal,
which is guarded by the
opposing goalkeeper.
Opposing players may try to
regain control of the ball
by intercepting a pass or
through tackling the
opponent who controls the
ball; however, physical
contact between opponents is
limited. Soccer 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.
At a professional level,
most soccer matches produce
only a few goals. For
example, during the English
2005-06 season of the FA
Premier League, an average
of 2.48 goals per match were
scored. The Laws of the Game
do not specify any player
positions other than
goalkeeper, but a number of
player specializations have
evolved. Broadly, these
include three main
categories: strikers, or
forwards, whose main task is
to score goals; defenders,
who specialize in preventing
their opponents from
scoring; and midfielders,
who dispossess the
opposition and keep
possession of the ball in
order to pass it to the
forwards; players in these
positions are referred to as
outfield players, in order
to discern them from the
single goalkeeper. These
positions are further
differentiated by which side
of the field the player
spends most time in. For
example, there are central
defenders, and left and
right midfielders. The ten
outfield players may be
arranged in these positions
in any combination (for
example, there may be four
defenders, four midfielders,
and two forwards, or three
defenders, three
midfielders, and four
forwards), and the number of
players in each position
determines the style of the
soccer team's play; more
forwards and fewer defenders
would create a more
aggressive and
offensive-minded game, while
the reverse would create a
slower, more defensive style
of soccer play. While
players may spend most of
the game in a specific
position, there are few
restrictions on player
movement, and players can
switch positions at any
time. The layout of the
players on the pitch is
called the team's
formation, and defining
the team's formation and
tactics is usually the
prerogative of the soccer
team's manager.
