HOW TO PLAY SOCCER


                 STEP 1: learn how to dribble. dribbling is controlling the ball while running. Dribbling is all about touching the ball strong enough to carry it forward, but light enough that it stays by your side and away from opponents.

               STEP 2: learn how to pass. Passing is all about putting the ball exactly where you want it. You can kick the ball using the side of your foot. It'll give you less power but more accuracy.

              STEP 3: Know how to shoot. If you're really close to the goal all you need is accuracy, you can shoot using the inside of your sweet shoe like a pass, but usually, you're going to be farther away and will need power as well as accuracy, of course.

             STEP 4: Think about moving off the ball.  learn how to get into open space,  how to run where your teammate expects or wants you to be, and how to run past a defenders who's guarding you.

            STEP 5: learn how to defend. Defending the goal is an underrated achievement. It can be extremely difficult staying on your opponent or getting the ball away from your opponent. There are three basic things that you need to remember when guarding a player in soccer: 1. don't be fooled by feints, tricks, or jukes. 2. stay in-between the ball and the goal. 3. learn to anticipate the dribble.
