Soccer
Soccer is a sport that requires 11 players on the field at once.The point of the game is to score into the opposing team's goal to get a point.
Soccer requires a lot of physical strength, which means there is a lot of running involved. A soccer field can be up to 130 yards long. There are 4 "zones" or positions that you can play in soccer. Goalie, which is the person who protects the ball from going into the goal. Offense, which are the people who run up and down the field to try and score. Midfield, which back up the offense in case the ball gets past them. And, defense, who backs up the midfield and clears the ball out if needed. Of course, whoever scores the most goals in the game wins. The average professional soccer game lasts about 2 hours. Soccer involves a lot of good footwork and clear communication. If one thing goes wrong, the game can go downhill very quickly.
