Task #1: Watch video #1 about soccer positions and formations, then answer these questions:
1). How many players are on the field at once (for one team?)
11
4-4-2 because it’s helpful for there to be 2 forwards and it’s also easier for the other positions to be
compact since there is an even amount of midfielders and defensive players. No one is left to defend a
player alone or move the ball up alone.
Wing because they are important offensive players and defensive players and they play an important
role on the field.
5). Pick 3 positions on the field, and tell me what their role is.
wing- move up the sides of the field with the striker and cross the ball in
Task #2: Watch video #2 on soccer rules/laws of the game and then answer these questions:
1). If the ball touches your elbow during a game, is that considered a hand ball?
yes
2). How many minutes is a full soccer game, and how long is each half? (note – in high school soccer,
each half will be 5 minutes less than a normal game length)
4). What is the first action of game called/you start the game with a kickoff ? When else does this occur?
Kickoffs also happen after the other team scores .
5). If the ball is mostly outside of the field lines (endline or sideline), but still touching the line a little bit,
is the ball considered in or out?
In
The receiving player or attacking player can’t be behind the last defender on the opposing team.
No
A direct kick is aimed at the goal and doesn’t have to touch a player but an indirect kick has to touch a
player to count.
Penalty kick
11). Fill in the blank: A throw in occurs when the ball goes over the side line.
12). True or False: one foot can come off the ground during a throw in.
False
13). Use the words “defending” and “attacking” to fill in the blanks appropriately:
For a corner kick to occur, the defending team kicked the ball over the end line. For a
goal kick to occur, the attacking team kicked the ball over the end line.
After I’ve accepted you to the team, do steps b) and c) from the “already have a hudl account”
instructions.
