FOOTBALL-THE LEGENDARY GAME..!!!
EDUCATION.
2. Balls were not exactly round when the first club and country
matches took place. A pig’s bladder was blown up like a balloon, H
tied at the ends and placed inside a leather case, affording it an
egg shape. The discovery of Indian rubber in the 1860s gave the
ball greater roundness.

3. While it is true footballs of yesteryear gained weight in wet
conditions, they were in fact lighter than today’s ball. In 1889,
S
the spherical object used had to be between 12-15 ounces (340 –
425 grams) but this increased to 14-16 ounces (397 -454 grams) T
in 1937.
9. It was only in the 20th Century that the penalty spot was
LS
introduced. In the decade before penalties, originally called the
kick of death, could be taken anywhere along a line 12-yards
from goal.

10. The word soccer does not come from the United States but SO
was a term used by public school and university students, most
notably at Oxford, in the 19th Century to shorten the new game
“Association Football”. The predilection to shorten words with “er”
R
extended to Rugby too, known as rugger.
12. Goalkeepers, in their own half, could handle the ball both
inside and outside the penalty area before 1912.
The rules of football are officially referred to as the "Laws of the Game".
The Laws of the Game are described very precisely (approximately 150
pages) on the FIFA website here.
There are 17 laws in total, each one briefly summarised below.
Referee. The referee ensures the Laws of the Game are respected and
upheld.
Start and Restart of Play. A kick-off starts play at the start of the match or
after a goal. A kick-off involves one player kicking the ball, from stationary,
forward from the centre spot. All players must be in their own half prior to
kick-off. A coin is tossed pre-game, the team which loses the toss are
awarded the kick-off to start the game whilst the team that win the toss are
allowed to choose which direction they want to play. After half time the
teams switch direction and the other team will kick-off. After a goal is
scored, the team which conceded the goal will kick-off to restart play.
Ball in and Out of Play. The ball is out of play once a goal has been
scored or when the referee has stopped the game. The ball is in play at all
other times.
Method of Scoring. The ball crosses the goal line inside the goal mouth.
Free Kicks. Are given by the referee for fouls and misconduct. A free kick Ec
can either be direct or indirect. A goal can be scored directly from a direct
free kick. A goal can only be scored from an indirect free kick if it touches
S
at least one other player first. The free kick must be taken from a
stationary position with that position varying depending on whether the free I
kick was given inside or outside the goal area and whether it's direct or
indirect. The opposing team must be a minimum of 9.15 m from the ball
when the free kick is taken. F
Penalty Kicks. Are given against a team when they commit an offence which
would normally be awarded a direct free kick inside their goal area. The ball is
kicked from stationary from the penalty spot. The opposing team must be outside
I
of the penalty area and at least 9.15 m from the ball.
Throw-in. Used to restart play after the whole of the ball has crossed the touch
line.
C
Goal kick. Used to restart play after a goal has been scored. a
Corner Kick. Is given when the whole of the ball crosses the goal line and was
last touched by a member of the defending team (and no goal was scored). A
corner kick is taken from inside the corner arc closest to the point where the ball
t
crosses the goal line. The defending team must be at least 9.15 m from the ball
when the corner kick is taken.

The rules of specification outline certain factors relating to the
playing set up of Gaelic Games.
The midline of the field is marked parallel to the end lines and
has a maximum length of 10m (Note: the dimensions may be
reduced by local bye-laws for U15 or younger grades).
The scoring space is marked in the centre of each end line by two
goalposts 6.5m apart, with a height of not less than 7m above
ground level. A cross bar is fixed to the goal posts at a height of
2.5m above the ground (Note: goalpost dimensions may be
reduced by local bye-laws for U15 or younger grades).
B) Large Rectangle
19m long by 13m wide. The distance from the inside of each
goalpost to the beginning of each line of width is 6.25m
Substitution Zone and Semi Circle Arc
S
A semi circle arc of 13m radius, centred on the mid-spot of the
20m line, is marked outside of each 20m line.
An area of the sideline extending 5m on either side of the centre
line denotes the substitution zone. All substitutions and
P
temporary replacements occur through this zone, when given
permission by the referee (Note: an injured player may leave the
field at the nearest point to him)

2. THE PLAYERS I
A team consists of 15 players. These are made up of one
goalkeeper, six defenders, two midfielders and six attackers.
(Note: the positional line up is as below, but no player is
C
restricted in his movement around the field). The teams line up
as follows:
A
T
I
O
N
A team may commence a game with 13 players, but must have
fielded 15 players (inclusive of any players ordered off or retired S
injured) by the start of the second half. A maximum of five
substitutes are allowed. A substitution is not allowed in the case
of a player ordered off (Note: in the case of extra time, an
p
additional three substitutes are allowed. A player ordered off, in
any circumstances, during normal time may not play in extra-
e
time, but may be replaced).

Iniesta's understanding with club-mate Xavi Hernandez borders on the
telepathic at times. The short, eye of the needle passing the pair produce can
pierce holes in the most stubborn of rearguards. Iniesta is also very modest,
s
never creating problems for the coaches he works under. Scored the winner
in the World Cup final against the Netherlands. o
5. Robin van Persie (Netherlands & Manchester United) n

t
Having put the injury problems that blighted Van Persie throughout his mid-
20s behind him, the Dutchman is now one of the most feared strikers in y
world soccer. Manchester United procured the player from Arsenal in 2012
and it proved a masterful signing as he picked up where he had left off at the
Emirates Stadium with goals galore to fire United to the 2012-13 Premier
League title. A player of immaculate technique, with a left foot to die for.
6. Gareth Bale (Wales & Real Madrid)
P
e
The Colombian has been a goalscoring phenomenon since moving to Europe
r
in 2009. A serial Europa League scorer when at Porto and Atletico Madrid,
Falcao also features at the top of the domestic goalscoring charts on a s
regular basis and it was little surprise that cash rich Monaco chose the striker
as their marquee signing in 2013 at over 50 million euros. o
10. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden & Paris Saint-Germain)
n
a
li
Expect the unexpected with the mercurial Swede. Ibrahimovic is the
t
moodiest player in world soccer, but completely unplayable when on his
game. Just witness his stunning overhead kick against England in 2012. Ibra y
has won league titles in Holland, Italy, Spain and France with six different
clubs and is something of a lucky charm for those willing to invest in his
considerable talents.
The basic techniques
In grassroots football, the basic techniques can be
divided into three categories:
S
Control of the ball K
Running with the ball
Striking the ball I
L
L
S
a. Control / b. Keepy-uppy
Control
To control the ball is to master it. Properly controlling
the ball means that a move will be successful. The
control movements to focus on are: directed control and
gathering the ball while moving – these introduce speed
into the play.
Keepy-uppy
If repeated regularly, keepy-uppy develops the skills
ofdexterity, coordination and balance in young
footballers. These skills favour the more rapid
acquisition of othertechniques.
2. Running with the ball S
K
I
a. Without obstacles / b. With obstacles = dribbling L
Running with the ball
This is how an individual moves in free space with the L
ball. When a player is running well with the ball, he/she
is in control of it at all times: this requires good balance
and excellent stability. Running with the ball while S
keeping the head up allows a continuous flow of
information to be received and allows movement to be
adapted to play.
Dribbling
This is how an individual moves with the ball when
faced by opponents. Dribbling allows the player
in possession of the ball to eliminate one or more
opponents by:
making a manoeuvre and taking individual risks,
setting up a team move,
gaining time to allow support from team-mates,
deceiving an opponent (the concept of the feint).
