History:

Soccer first evolved as a game in England during the Middle Ages. Following many years of informal play, formal soccer rules were adopted by the English Football Association.

Soccer is referred to as “football” in every country except the United States. Much more popular in Europe and South America, soccer is the focus of the largest sporting event in the world. The World Cup, the international professional soccer championship held every four years, draws crowds in the millions.

Now growing in popularity in the United States, soccer is unique among U.S. games because players (except for the goalkeeper) use the feet and head, not the hands.

Safety:

Several safety factors should be observed. Students should avoid dangerous kicking when close to another player and to protect their heads form high-kicked balls by folding their arms across their faces. A student should always kick the ball with their instep, out-step, or the top of their foot. As a means to prevent injuries, DO NOT USE TOE KICKS
