1. No Hands, please \n\nI bet you knew that one. Most people who know nothing about soccer still know that you aren’t supposed to use your hands unless you’re the goalie. \n\nA couple of points to clarify. \n\nFirst, the rule for a hand ball includes using any part of the body from the tips of the fingers to the shoulder. \n\nSecond, the proper way to look at this soccer rule is that a player cannot “handle” the ball. A ball that is kicked and hits a player’s hand or arm is not a hand ball. This means that the referee must use his or her own judgment to some extent in determining whether or not a hand ball is accidental contact or a purposeful attempt to gain an advantage. \n\nBelieve it or not, there is also a situation in which the goalie cannot use his/her hands. This is sometimes called the back-pass rule. Goalkeepers cannot pick up a pass that came directly from one of their teammates. In this case, the goalkeeper must use his feet. Infraction of this soccer rule will result in an indirect kick from the point of the infraction. \n\n2. Throw-ins \n\nA throw-in is taken when the ball crosses a sideline and leaves the field. The two basic soccer rules for a proper throw-in are to have both feet on the ground and to throw the ball with both hands over the head. \n\nFor teaching purposes it is common to allow players under the age of 8 to take more than 1 attempt. \n\n3. Corner Kicks & Goal Kicks \n\nA corner kick or goal kick is taken when the ball leaves the field across the endline – you know, the end of the field.  \n\nIf the offensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a goal kick. If the defensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a corner kick. \n\nThe goal kick is taken from anywhere inside the “goalie box” as it is affectionately called. It can be taken by any player, not just the goalkeeper. \n\nThe corner kick is taken from – yes, you guessed it – the corner nearest to where the ball left the field. \n\nYou may be confused at times in youth soccer games to see a goal kick retaken. This is because the FIFA soccer rules state that the ball is not back “in play” until it leaves the penalty area, the large box outside of the “goalie box”. No one can touch the ball until it leaves the penalty area, and if the ball is not kicked properly to leave the area, the kick must be retaken. \n\n4. Fouls \n\nThe common rule of thumb on fouls is “If it looks like a foul, it probably is.” \n\nToo true. A player cannot kick, trip, jump at, charge, strike, push, hold, or spit at an opponent. \n\nSo what’s the problem? \n\nSoccer can be a physical, contact sport when two opposing players both want the soccer ball and no parent likes it when little Johnny loses the ball and ends up on the ground! \n\n“Foul!” cries the parent. “Little Johnny was pushed!” \n\nWhat you need to know as a parent is that bumping or going shoulder-to-shoulder while competing for a ball is not a foul until the hands or elbows come up. This is a bit of a judgment call and not all referees will call it the same way. Some soccer rules are actually not black-and-white. \n\nRemember though, the referee is ALWAYS right. \n\n5. Direct and Indirect Free Kicks \n\nThe simple difference between the two is this: On a direct kick you can score by kicking the ball directly into the goal. On an indirect kick you cannot score. An indirect kick must be touched by another player before it can go into the goal – that is the kicker and a second person. \n\nAs a parent on the sideline, you can tell whether the kick is direct or indirect by looking at the referee. For an indirect kick, the referee will hold one arm straight up in the air until the second person touches the ball. No arm up, it’s a direct kick. \n\nThere are many soccer rules around what causes a direct or indirect kick. \n\nIn general, a direct kick comes from a contact foul or hand ball. Everything else is indirect. \n\n6. Penalty Kick \n\nA penalty kick r

First of all, I'm not sure where you got your stats from, but they're askew.  I'll address that later.\n\nI ref both hockey and soccer because I like both sports.  They have a lot in common: constant action, penalty shots/kicks, end-to-end action, great saves...  In both cases you usually need to get the goalie/keeper out of position or get a redirect to beat him.\n\nIf you ask people from the US or Canada, most will say hockey.  Germany, Sweden, and Russia are probably divided.  The rest of the world will probably say soccer.  I guess it's a geographic thing.\n\nAs for your shot speed - hockey's fastest shot is 102 mph, while soccer's fastest kick is 74 mph.  It may LOOK like 15 mph to you, so please do some research before you make a statement like that.\n\nWith all that said, I think hockey is better.\n\n***John, I took a look at the link you provided.  I will concede that your source cites 120mph.  I was going off of officially recorded speeds at the All-star skills competition.  If I searched around, I bet I could find a source that cites 110mph free kicks.  But also keep in mind, hockey goalies have full body armor while soccer keepers have padded mits.  And if you think I'm self-centered because I called you out on your stats, cite them in your original question next time.\n\n********And one more thing John - like I said in the beginning of my answer, I do ref hockey.  It's not professional hockey, but I'd bet it's at a higher level than what you ref at.

On average, all outfield players are required to run between 9 and 13 kilometres. The goalkeeper runs the least around a maximum of 4-6 Km. Overall, professional midfielders run the most whilst strikers sprint the greatest distance. For example, a top centre-forward has been shown to sprint 900 m (> 21 km/h) and runs 1520m at high intensity (14-21 km/h). \nsoccerperformance.org

As a team, try to keep the ball moving and spread the defense, taking advantage of open spaces. The best way to accomplish this is to play one and two touch soccer. \n\nStrike the ball with pace so that your teammate doesn't have to wait on the ball.  A firm pass is more likely to arrive at its destination.  In terms of teamwork, the player who is the intended target of your pass must go to the ball.  At the same time though, make your teammate look good by digging out a bad pass and keep possession.\n\nAs a team, train in game-like situations, with the right kind of intensity and pressure. Anybody can play keep a way when they aren't under pressure, but only the good player can do it in a crunch. \n\nYou can recreate game-like conditions by making the areas you are playing in small so that there is constant pressure on those with the ball. Then, when you are getting the right intensity, open the game up and play in a larger area.  For example, start with 8 versus 8 in the goal box and then open up into the whole half once the intensity mimics that of a game.\n\nWhen you’re not training with the team, work on technique by kicking the ball against a wall. Make sure to use both your right and left foot. Keep your ankle locked and strike through the center of the ball with pace.  Get your body behind the ball with a uniform strong sense of balance.  \n\nIn order to become a great passer, you’re also going to need to become familiar with the different kinds of passes, and the various ways in which they are used…\n \n\nPut Your Best Foot Forward\n\nThe way in which you move the ball depends on several things, such as:\n\n·         Where it’s going\n\n·         What you want it to do when it gets there\n\n·         Who’s in the way, and\n\n·         What part of the foot you use\n\nThe first three factors depend on your own strategy, but the last one depends solely on technique:\n\nInside of the foot:  This is the most useful part of the foot to use when passing the ball. It’s the part of your foot with the most surface area, thus giving you the most control and accuracy. \n\nInside edge of the foot:  This is the same as the above but with the upper portion of your foot to bend the ball. Wrap your foot around the ball so it curves into your teammate’s feet or into an area, as with a cross or shot.\n\nOutside of the foot:  This kind of pass is used when you want to bend the ball into a teammate or into an area.  Often, your body is in a position where you can't make a simple pass.  If this is the case, try to strike through the ball.  Follow through with the upper portion of the outside of your foot.  \n\nLong passes:  This is for driving the ball into a teammate..  If you are picking a player out, you don't need to follow through the ball. Instead, strike the ball sharply and stop your follow through just after hitting it.\n\nBy fine-tuning your skills as a passer, you can significantly increase your team’s chances of success. Your victory won’t be complete, however, unless you and your teammates learn to cooperate to control the ball…\n\n \n\nPassing Standards\n\nThere’s an endless variety of patterns and drills that can help your team expand and hone its passing vocabulary. These, however, are the most important passing blueprints that you should be familiar with:\n \n\nGive and Go or Wall Pass\n\nMake a pass at an angle to a teammate and he or she plays the ball back to you after you have made a run behind the defender. \n\nThe key

From what I have heard and read, people actually attempted to put a number on this. However, it is hard because it does not represent the truth for each position in the field. The average player's run was calculated to be about 10 miles or 16 Km. Well, the keeper doesn't do much running as we know. The back line, they move a little bit unless you are from Brazil where even the defenders attack, the midfielders run the most because they bring the ball from home half to the opponents half and many times all the way down to the goal and the forwards move maybe just a little more than the back line to make quick strikes against the opposing team. So again it depends to what position you are looking at.

Well this would definetely depend on the position of a player. If you are talking about a right or left back that also is in every attack and if his team is playing up and down the whole time, he could make runs of upto 80 meters up and down no less then 10 times a game. and his other runs to the side and to the midfield etc. We are probably looking at about 3-6 kms.

But that kid in the series isnt average. An average kid that age will throw anywhere between 45-60 mph at top speed. It also depends on how much training the kid's had, years experience..etc.
