The Association of football in Europe is commonly known as soccer most everywhere. This sport is
played with two different teams of about eleven players on each team with a round ball. Soccer is a
sport that is played by 250 million people or more in countries all over the world, which makes it one of
the more popular sports.

Soccer is a sport that can be played either in door or outdoors. It is played on a field or grass or artificial
turf that is generally rectangular in shape. On each end of the field there are goal areas. The players
that tend the goal area are known as goal keepers. They are the only people that are allowed to touch
the ball with their arms or hands. The field players use their feet to kick or move the balls to the
position they desire. The field players can intercept the ball in mid air with their torso or head, while
running up and down the field. The team that has the most goals at the end of the game or match is the
winner. If a tie occurs they either declare a draw or have a shoot out.

Go try your skills out on the field and see if soccer is for you, maybe some day you will be a good enough as a football professional to join the New York Dragons.
