Football rules and instructions

The World's Game. Soccer is one of the oldest and most popular sports in the world. In the United States, the sport is called soccer. In most other places, it's known as football. The Basics. In soccer, two teams play with a round ball on a large field. Each team tries to put the ball into the other team's goal. Goalies. A player called a goalkeeper, or goalie, guards each team's goal. Goalies are the only players who can touch the ball with their arms and hands on the field. Moving the Ball. The other players move the ball around the field by kicking it. They can also "trap" the ball by stopping it with their feet, knees, or chests. They can even "head" a ball in the air using their heads! Players run with the ball by dribbling it. They kick the ball to themselves with short, quick taps. Offense and Defense. Whenever a team has the ball and is trying to score, they are on offense. The team playing defense tries to keep the offense from scoring. They also try to take the ball away from the other team. Each team plays offense and defense many times during a match. Fouls. The referees make sure the players follow the rules. Players are not allowed to push, hold, or trip members of the other team. A referee can call a foul if a player breaks a rule. The referee can give the other team a free kick or a penalty kick. Equipment. Players often wear cleats on their feet so they can run on the grass without slipping. Players also wear shin guards to protect their legs. Out-of-Bounds. If a ball goes out-of-bounds, a player throws it back into play. The player uses a special throw that starts with both hands behind the head. Scoring and Winning. A team gets one point for each goal it scores. At the end of the game, the team with the most goals wins. If the game ends in a tie, the teams may keep playing until someone scores. They may also take turns doing penalty kicks to decide the winner. Soccer Is Good for You. Soccer is great exercise and lots of fun to play! Players learn how to work together and be good sports.

Lacrosse A Fun Game! The sport of lacrosse is exciting to play. It is ancient, fast, and fun! An Old Sport. Lacrosse comes from a First Nations team sport. Tribes in North America played lacrosse hundreds of years ago. It was an important game to them. Long ago, people from Europe settled in North America. They saw First Nations people playing lacrosse. The settlers liked the game and started playing it. Sometimes, they played with First Nations people. For a while, mostly settlers in Canada played lacrosse. Then, some schools in the United States began playing. Still, the game wasn't popular. The sticks used in the game were handmade and hard to get. Later, sticks were made more simply. Over time, people began playing the game across the country. Lacrosse Today. Today, men, women, boys, and girls play lacrosse. Lacrosse teams usually play outside in a field. Sometimes they play indoors. This is called box lacrosse. Lacrosse is popular in schools. There are two leagues in North America. Lacrosse is most popular in Canada and the United States. People in England and Australia also play the sport. Today, lacrosse is catching on all over the world! Game Rules. A lacrosse field is about the same size as a football field. A lacrosse game has two teams. Teams for men have ten players. Teams for women have twelve players. There is a net, or goal, at each end of the playing field. A lacrosse stick has a woven cup at the end. Players use the sticks to try to get a ball into the other team's net. A game starts with one player from each team in the middle of the field. The ball is on the ground between the players. When the whistle blows, the game begins. The two players use their sticks to get the ball. When a player gets the ball, he or she runs to get to the net. The player can also pass the ball to another player using the stick. Each team tries to keep the ball. One player on each team is the goalie. He or she stands next to his or her team's net. The goalie's job is to keep the ball from going into the net. If the ball goes into the net, it is worth one point. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins! Lacrosse Lives On. Now, more than ever, people love playing lacrosse. It is a fun team sport that is exciting to play and to watch!
