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.Risky environments occur when there is potential for injury, unsafe practices and the surrounding are considered hazardous or reliable. In a sporting and physical activity context, this can be due to a variety of factors such as: playing surface, isolation, water, unpredictability and equipment.
A playing surface is the environment in which physical activity takes place. A playing surface can be dangerous or hazardous when the ground is uneven, wet/slippery and debris is present. This can be risky for participants as it can lead to severe injury and or death. An example of this is when physical activity or sport is called off due to wet weather. This puts participants at risk as its presents the possibility of the participants slipping over and cutting themselves or fracturing/breaking a bone.
Isolation occurs when a person, people or event is held far away from first aid or a significant population, which can contribute to a risky environment. Acquiring an injury in an isolated location makes it difficult for help, and assistance may take longer to arrive, further putting yourself at risk. For example, bushwalking by yourself at night, the walker could slip and break an ankle. It may then take a while for aid to locate or reach you, further putting yourself at risk. Also, an isolated location makes it difficult to fully assess potential risks leading to an unsafe location for physical activity. With the example of the ultra- marathon, organisers were not able to fully assess the potential risk of bushfires leading to serious injury for their competition therefore isolation is a significant contributing factor to a risky environment.
Water is a factor which influences risks in sport and physical activity. The lack of water can lead to dehydration and other health issues. On the other hand, the presence of water can result in slippery surfaces as well as altered or unknown conditions. This can be seen when an athlete takes part in a triathlon. Water is required to remain hydrated, however it can become hazardous. During the run and bike legs, water or rain can result in slippery surfaces and can therefore be dangerous for participants. In the swim leg, water depth and conditions can be unknown, rough or altered creating danger for participants. Evidently, water is an influential factor of the risks in physical activity and sport.
Unpredictability will always play a role in sport and physical activity. Situations will never be completely foreseeable nor will risks be avoidable. The optimum risk identification processes cannot completely eliminate risks, simply reduce them. It is important for sporting associations to establish plans and processes not only to identify risk environments but to manage risks should unpredictable circumstances arise.
Equipment is a factor that can contribute to a risky environment. If there is a lack of the correct and required equipment in physical activity, or if the equipment is ill-fitting or faulty, participants are then at risk of getting injured. For example, if a cricket player isn’t wearing a helmet and the cricket ball hits their head, they are at risk of serious head injury or death. Therefore, if proper and suitable equipment is available, participants can partake in physical activity safely without risk of injury.
