Soccer Basics Every Beginner Should Know

Getting started with soccer is simple, but it helps to understand a few basics before joining a game or class. Here are key concepts to familiarize yourself with:

1. The Field

Soccer is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The goal of the game is to score by kicking the ball into the opposing team’s net while defending your own.

2. Game Length

A standard soccer match is divided into two 45-minute halves, with a 15-minute break in between. If the score is tied and a winner is needed, extra time or penalty shootouts may be added.

3. Essential Soccer Skills

To get the most out of your soccer experience, work on these key skills:

  • Dribbling: Control the ball while moving down the field. Keep the ball close to your feet and use both feet for better control.

  • Passing: Learn how to accurately pass the ball to teammates, helping your team keep possession and advance toward the goal.

  • Shooting: Develop accuracy and power in your shots to score goals.

  • Defending: Understand how to block opponents and win the ball back without committing fouls.

What You’ll Need to Start

Starting soccer doesn’t require a lot of gear, which makes it an easy sport to dive into. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Soccer Cleats: Choose cleats for better grip and mobility on the field.

  • Shin Guards: Essential for protecting your legs during tackles.

  • Comfortable Athletic Wear: Wear breathable clothing that allows for a full range of movement.

  • Soccer Ball: We provide soccer balls for use during classes and private lessons, so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own.
