Brief history of football
The earliest forms of football was seen in asia in over sum 3,000 years ago. Even though the
sport was not played with the same rules we are using today we can still share the resemblance of
the game

An early form of soccer was played in ancient china this game was known as cuju. Cuju was
usually played with 2-10 players. The rules the players had to follow was that they could touch
the ball with any part of their bodies except their hands. They would shoot a ball at a minuscule
hole to score.

Main skills associated with football
The following are the main skills associated with football:

1. Tackling- this skill is quite critical if you are planning to be a defender. You have to know
how to tackle your opponents so they can’t oppress you.
2. Heading- this skill is one where you have to use your head. When you feel that there is no
other way to hit the ball except using your head, you got to do a header.
3. Passing- this skill is a must when playing football. You have to pass the ball to your other
teammates so you can play the game
4. Receiving- this skill is to show how you can really control the ball when it is passed to you.
5. Shooting- this skill is used in scoring goals if you don’t know how to shoot properly you
can’t score a goal.
6. Dribbling- this skill helps to improve your football skills and helps you to easily get past
your opponents.
7. Juggling- this skill helps to improve overall skills and needs to be practiced quite often

What is the system of play in football?
A plan known as a system of play in football determines the way players act toward each other
together or individually when they are on the field. This system involves formation and
guidelines.to carry out the proper functions in attacking and defending

Three examples of a system of play

There are four systems of play in football; however here are three top systems of play;

1. The 4-3-3 System

this formation includes four players in defence, three midfielders and

three attackers.

2. The 4-4-2 system

this formation includes four players in defense four midfield players and two attackers.

3. The 3-5-2 system

7
 this formation includes three players in defense five
midfielders two attackers and a goalkeeper.

Officials in a game of football

The referee- the referee is very important in a game of football. He is the only one who carries a
whistle and uses it to signal the starting and stopping of a game. He has the right to award a free
kick a penalty kick, a yellow card or a red card.

The linesmen- in football there are two lines men who patrol the length of the touch line between
the halfway line and one goal line. They both have to carry a brightly-coloured flag to use as a
signal. Linesmen will also wave their flags to catch the referee’s attention if they believe they
have spotted a foul.

Fourth official- The fourth official is positioned on the touchline between the two opposing
benches. He has to keep track of all stops during the game. During half time he has to inform the
players how much time will be added on to make up for them

Define the following terms.
Out of bounds- this is when the ball crosses over the side-line

Corner kick- this is when the whole ball passes over the goal line

Penalty kick- this is also known as spot kick. it is taken from 12 yards out from goal Direct free
kick-

Indirect free kick- happens when a player commits a foul other than a penalty

Goal kick- also known as goalie. It is used to restart the game

Throw in-another way to restart the game when the ball has exited the side of the field of play.

Drop ball-yet another way to restart the game. It is made up to offer no advantage to either side,
generally being awarded when play has been stopped due to reasons other than normal gameplay
or misconduct.

Offside- is when a player is closer to the opponent’s goal line than both the ball and the second-
to-last defender

Three ways to restart a game
Three ways to restart a game are as follows

1. A direct free kick- this is one of the ways you can restart a game. This usually comes
after a foul. A direct free kick may be scored against the other side without the ball have
to be touched by another player
2. An indirect free kick –this is another way you can restart the game. Unlike a direct free
kick, a goal may not be scored directly from the kick
3. Corner kick- this is yet another way to restart a game. This happens when the whole ball
passes over the goal line

11
When is a direct free kick awarded?
