Basic Soccer Moves Part 3
Learn How to Play Soccer
Are you ready to join billions of players worldwide by taking part in the world’s most popular sport?
Learning how to play soccer makes you a member of the globe’s biggest community – and the best part is, it’s easy to do.
Playing soccer as a beginner can seem daunting, but in fact it is simple to pick up. The game is played by eleven players on each team on a field that, while varying in size, is generally around 115 yards by 75 yards. The object is to propel the soccer ball across the opposition’s goal-line into the back of the net.
All you need to play is a marked field, two teams, a soccer ball, and an idea of the laws of the game. Thankfully these are also very elementary for the beginner, at least in their basic form.
There are some complex rules that only enthusiasts and experienced players fully understand, but the beauty of football is in its simplicity. With this in mind, remember a few core rules: only goalkeepers can touch the ball with their hands; when tackling for the ball, if you miss and hit the player, it’s a foul; a foul in the defender’s goal area results in a penalty kick; and there are corner kicks, goal kicks, and throw-ins, depending on how and where the ball goes out of play.
To learn how to play soccer, then, involves three steps.
Step 1.
The first is to learn soccer’s rules: read the Laws of the Game, or at least glance through them. At just 50 large-type pages, this isn’t a huge task, and you’ll be surprised at some of the soccer laws in there.
Step 2.
The second step is much more enjoyable: sit back, relax, and watch a game! Whether it’s online, on TV, or – the best option – in the flesh, there’s nothing like getting into the thick of things by watching soccer being played. It doesn’t matter what level you watch from high school through to the World Cup as long as it’s played on a regulation field by eleven players a team with a referee: the basics are the same all throughout the world.
Step 3.
Then there’s the third step: find a local club, pull on your cleats, and step onto the pitch. Most teams have local beginners’ soccer clubs for just this, and you will almost certainly not be the only one who is still learning the game.
If you really want to become good at soccer, then practise alot. You can practise by yourself, or with a friend, but even just practising kicking a ball against a wall, or learning how to juggle a soccer ball will ensure that you improve your soccer skills, and will be on the way to becoming a good soccer player.
Lastly when learning how to play soccer, always listen to your coach and to your captain – and have fun!

Basic football (soccer) rules for beginner?
I am trying to learn how to play football/soccer.
I am playing social soccer on Sundays, and the others in the team have been around football for ages, so they know all the rules back to front.
I keep on getting frustrated that I don’t know what to do or try to do things that aren’t allowed.
I went to this website but the rules are too complicated:

I also went to the FIFA website but could not find the rules easily, but I also think they are going to be technical.
I just want the basic rules explained in easy to understand language. So that I can play with the rest of the team.
I am from an Australian Rules Football background, where there is a lot more physical contact. I would also like to know what sort of physical contact is allowed, and what is not allowed.
Also when to throw the ball in and when I have to kick it in.
Thanks very much for your help!!!
(PS I’m in Sydney, Australia)

Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
