Soccer is a kind of sport played by sides of 11 players with around ball. The ball may
not be handle during play except by the goalkeepers. A soccer player must learn many kinds
of footwork. Trapping, dribbling, and passing are there of the basics.
Trapping

feet. Often, it will bounce or come from high up. The ball must be brought to the ground and
controlled right away.

Dribbling
The inside or outside of either foot can be used. When dribbling, the ball is tapped
along with the foot. However, players should never let the ball get away from them. In this
way, players can keep going toward the goal. But if the ball is tapped too hard, the player
may lose the ball. It's better for a player to pass quickly to a teammate instead.
Passing

opponent, the ball should be passed only a
snort distance. A player should pass to a
teammate only a few meters away. The ball is passed into open space ahead of the
teammate. Then, the player runs past the opponent to receive the ball back.
