Professionals, college, and high school play soccer with two 45 minute halves. The rules of soccer is simple, two teams that consist of nine players and a goalie. The players are only allowed to play the soccer ball with their feet, and they are divided into offense and defense. Kicking the ball into the opposing team’s goal is the game’s main objective. Therefore, the only one allowed to use their hands as well as their feet are the goalies.

If you’re a football coach or just goofing off with friends, most people like to impress their peers with their athletic prowess. Even more than showing off your skills, sportsmen like to demonstrate neat football tricks they’ve picked up over the years. Believe it or not, most tricks have nothing at all to do with the sport itself. Throwing an extra long pass is cool and evading 10 linebackers is impressive, but most tricks have more to do with style and skill than anything else.

Learning an impressive trick should play up on you assets while avoiding your shortcomings.
