Every body knows that soccer is a game that is played between twenty – two
players, eleven in each team and a referee. Little do people realize that even
though this is a team game, most of the practice of each of the players can and
is generally done on an individual basis. If you want to be a master player,
then you have to learn to work around the ball and control it with your feet.
You could begin by just playing with an ordinary ball, just kick it round to get
the feel and you will be able to play soccer very soon. If you use a ball which
is smaller in size, it makes you more adept at maneuvering the ball with your
leg. You will soon see the results for yourself, as you will be hitting the ball
more accurately into the goal. You could mark the back wall of your house for
the goal post or else if you have an old camping net, it could serve as the goal
post. Practice aiming at the goal post from every conceivable angle. Dividing
the wall into sections is a great way of playing ball. Practice putting the ball
into each section till you have perfected the art. Try giving free kicks against
the wall. Most of the world famous soccer players won gold for their country by
hitting free kicks or penalties, so there is a lot of scope in that area for
winning. And every world class player has practiced his moves to perfection. So
there is no short cut to becoming a champion and winning the game. Practice does
make perfect. Keep an eye out for your weaknesses too. It is difficult but if
you want to be at the top, you must know your weakness so that you can work on
it and improve your game. Playing ball alone can get boring so liven up your
game practice by adding a few obstacles along the way to the goal post. You may
make use of old canisters, logs of wood etc., to work the ball around.
Conversely, you could rope in a few friends to help you practice. It is much
more fun to pass the ball around in triangular patterns and try giving long and
short passes. They could serve for both defense and offense. This way you get to
practice at a live session. You could even get your friends together and play a
small round of the game. Each payer could be given the responsibility to attack
or to defend alternately and you could play against each one of them. This is a
team sport but individual practice carries a lot of emphasis. In a full scale
match you may or may not get the opportunity to play with the ball all the time.
But when playing solo, not only do you perfect your mastery over the ball but
improve upon your weak areas which may be the reason for disqualification from
the team. About Author More information and

The soccer shirts worn by players these days are
very bright and colorful, making it very easy to identify teams. But there was a
time when there was no real uniform dress code and every payer wore white shirts
with long sleeves. The only way to distinguish between teams was colorful caps
and scarves. This created confusion for the spectators and the scorers.
Gradually, the demand for uniforms for players rose giving birth to the first
soccer shirts, which have now become legendary with players and teams alike. As
soccer clubs turned the game into a professional sport, all teams had to
register their specific colors so as to avoid confusion with other teams. Soccer
fans all over the world wear the colors of the teams. This has become a good way
of increasing company sales and thus contributed to the economy too. By the
start of the twentieth century, shirts in various colors and designs including
stripes made an appearance. The cheap, plain white cotton fabric gave way to
synthetic materials such as nylon, which is lighter and allows sweat to
evaporate, making it very comfortable for players to wear during a match. Now
for summers players wear short sleeves, while in winters, they switch to long
sleeves shirts. Along with the shirts came the numbers from one to eleven on the
back of the shirts. But as strategies and positions changed, so did the numbers.
Nowadays the players wear their lucky numbers. Initially, the name of the team
and club would be in front while the number and name of the player would be at
the back of the shirt. With the onset of globalization, advertising companies
realized that there was a huge marketing potential. So they began to display
their names on the shirts and paid the teams to wear their brand. Designs
including logos and badges of teams were worn and every time a team changed its
advertisers, the designs changed. The fans, in order to keep up with the
changing pace, began buying the new brands. As science and technology has
advanced, the fabric of the soccer shirts has greatly improved. The fabric used
for the shirts can adjust itself to the needs of the player and the weather
i.e., it keeps the players warm in winter and cool in summer. Rapidly changing
technology promises to invent shirts that will be able to monitor the heart
rates and fatigue levels of the players. Technology is also playing a very
important role in making the soccer shirt more fashionable. A plethora of new
designs and colors has indeed made the game more enjoyable. Cheap replicas are
also available on the internet and fans often trade soccer shirts via the
internet for profit. Big companies now vie for a chance to sponsor soccer teams
as it is a great way to boost their sales. They even offer huge discounts and
other offers to attract customers. Thus, soccer has been commercialized in a big
way, through its shirt. About Author More information and , kits, Jerseys you
