If a player was directly to the right or left of another player on the field and wanted to make a pass, the player could simply scream "Square" and the ball carrier would know there was somebody ninety degrees to their right or left who was open and trying to get a pass. Instead of the members screaming "left" or "right " , "Square " is only used so people in the communtiy know what it is asked. In soccer , the key to winning in a match is for the players to already think of ahead for their next move. Another example of lexis in a soccer team is when a player calls for a "through ball " . This means a player is asking the player with the possession of the ball to pass it to the player with space and then receive it , instead of having to dribble through their defender to reach the same space.…

The Central High School soccer team would make history in the season 2013-2014, and not one single person expects it. In the season there were only three more crucial games left before the big decisive game. Central prepared diligently, even staying after practice to ensure we were all ready for the biggest game in the soccer’s program, against our biggest rival, Smiths Station. While both Central and Smiths believed that they were ready to come off of that green soccer field with a victory, Central focused more on playing fundamentally and Smiths Station was worried about playing elaborate.

During the soccer unit I made many calls including: offsides, out of bounds, hand ball, pushing, and goal. The call that occurred most often was out of bounds, which happened about 5 times throughout my refereeing experience. Out of bounds was the easiest call to make because you can see it happen from many directions, and it is not really a judgement call. The hardest call to make was the offsides penalty. This was the hardest because I was unfamiliar with the rule.…
Even though soccer players have to be in good shape, they do not have to be in the same shape as football players. Soccer players have to be able to kick the ball long distances, which is not that difficult. Soccer players run around for a long period of time, but their running is not as fast-paced as football is. Also, soccer games last almost twice as long as football games do. A half in a soccer game is equal to almost a full football game.…

The second term is feinting, or fake was the player fools the opponent to where they will kick the ball.…
Many people think that soccer is easy because there is no smashing into other players like in football or shooting a ball into an 18” hoop like in basketball. What those people may not understand is soccer requires skills and techniques in order to be an effective player. I have learned that the only way to be better is to practice. This is why I play, train, and practice about fifteen hours of soccer each week. I did not actually start playing competitive soccer until I was 12.…
In both of these organizations, the players need to be able to pass to each other as well as set each other up and ultimately score a point, and keep the other team from scoring. However we cannot forget the individual aspect of the games. In basketball after getting fouled the player needs to stand at the free-throw line and shoot to score alone. Soccer has a trait that is very much alike; in soccer if the player gets fouled in the box the player get a penalty, which is where you put the ball down on the penalty spot, and the player has the opportunity to shoot at the goal alone. The biggest similarity is the speed of play, both sports have very little stops to the game, so both sports get a real flow and do not stop every ten seconds.…
Importance of energy systems involved in performance: During a soccer game, each energy system is applied with various intensities from low to high that are used. It can be hard to establish which energy system is used most frequently during a game of soccer for a defender. This is because there are many different movements performed with different levels of intensity that change throughout a game of soccer. For example, a defender will usually sprint and then stop, walk, jog and then sprint again in order to get the ball from the opposing team.…
