Teaching Soccer in Physical Education at a High School Level by Jack Boncales
Introduction to the game • Soccer played primarily with the feet. • Most popular sport in the world. • 11 players on the field at a time. • NO HANDS! (unless you’re a goalie)
Soccer Basics • Two 90 minute halves with no timeouts • Foul in the box results in a penalty kick • There is no “I” in team
Positions • Goalkeeper • Defenders (fullbacks) • Midfielders (halfbacks) • Forwards (strikers)
Goalkeeper Simple: Keep the ball out of the net. Only allowed to use hands in 18 yard box. Fast reaction time necessary. Fearless in the air. Direct defense

I can be a leader too! Midfielders Main purpose is controlling the middle of the field More of a passer than scorer Leader
Forwards Textbook Goal Scoring Put the ball in the back of the net Fast to the ball Able to play with back to the net Superior finishing ability
Kicking a soccer ball • Hit the ball with laces for a hard, straight shot • Plant foot (non-kicking foot) is next to the ball • Always follow through on the kick
Kicking a soccer ball (cont.) • Curve a soccer ball by kicking outside of the ball with the inside of the foot. • Most commonly used for free kicks
Slide Tackling • Must be perfectly timed • Have to show that you are attempting to go for the ball • Very risky
Discipline • Yellow Card: warning card for misconduct or overly physical play and even excessive celebrations • Player stays in game • Considered a “warning” • Red Card: result of extremely dangerous play; player is immediately sent off • Two yellows = red • Player not allowed to return to game • Team plays a man down
Free Kicks • Free kicks occur when there is a foul on a play • Most dangerous when in the area of the goal • Most players use the curve when around the net on free kicks (notice that defending players make a “wall”)
Volleying the ball • Follow the ball with your eyes • Don’t lean back, it’ll send the ball flying upwards • Try to bring body over the ball • On side volleys, try to get body semi-horizantal
Dribbling the ball • Keep the ball as close to you as possible* • *except when moving into open space, push the ball ahead • Don’t dribble for too long • Keep head up, aware of who is open I was open!
Heading the ball • Heading the ball is used mostly in the midfield and on defense to win the ball, but can also often be used for scoring goals. • Side of head, forehead, never top of head • Snap head in direction of ball • Out-jump opponent That’s NOT supposed to happen!
Penalty Shooting • Aim for the corners • Hard and accurate • Keep eye on the ball through entire process, that way the goalie can’t tell which way you are looking
Out of Bounds • Corner kicks occur when ball goes out on the defending team at the touch line • Goal kicks occur when ball goes out on the attacking team at the touch line • A throw-in occurs when the ball goes off of either team on the sidelines
Trick Moves • Tricks aren’t a fundamental part of the game, but THIS is will tell you everything you need to know.
Soccer is the World’s Game…. Enjoy it
