Soccer Moves?

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.  READ MORE

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.  READ MORE

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.  READ MORE

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.
