POSITIONS

 ATTACKERS- players who are more offensive minded.

MID FIELDERS- players who must control the middle of the field. Must support offensive and defensive players.

DEFENDERS- players who are more defensive minded. First priority is to defend the defensive 3rd of the field.

*** even though these players have different priorities, it is the job of all players to play defense when your team doesn't have the ball, and offense when your team does have the ball!!!

GOAL KEEPER- the last line of defense. The only player who is allowed to use his/her hands on the playing field.



BASIC SKILLS

Dribbling- touching the ball with various parts of the foot with the purpose of maintaining possession and/or advancing the ball.

Heading- a skill used to strike the ball using the upper half of the forehead.

Passing- using various parts of the body to move the ball to a teammate

Tackling-taking the ball away from your opponent

Juggling- using various parts of the body to keep the ball in the air but still under control



OUT OF BOUNDS

 Throw-ins- taken by the other team when the ball is kicked over the touch line

Goal kicks- done when the ball is kicked over the goal line by the offensive team

Corner Kicks- done when the defense kicks the ball over their own goal line



PENALTIES
