Soccer
Kid First Soccer
Over the past decade soccer has been the fastest growing team sport for boys and girls in America. The quality of some of the existing soccer programs for children, however, is a source of growing concern. The available research findings on youth sport provide very clear guidelines to better serve children's, as opposed to adults' needs. The purpose of this Web page is to promote a child centered approach to the organization and instruction of youth sports. Special emphasis is placed on the promotion of the game of soccer as a life-long, family oriented activity, that provides for child-parent bonding, team work and friendships, as well as, adequate aerobic exercise. This is a message from a sport psychologist and soccer parent to fellow soccer moms and dads.

Soccer Training Guide
On this site I will give you valuable information on everything about soccer. I hope you will enjoy your visit here and that you find this website useful and informative.
After spending hours searching for relevant information about soccer I was disappointed and tired of many soccer sites out there because I believed that these sites did not help soccer players at all. Instead, these sites just repeated the same theory over and over again. That is how the idea for this website came to me.
So I decided to build a website with only relevant information about soccer and do everything I can to help you succeed on the soccer field. I love to watch, play and discuss soccer every time I get the chance. I usually don’t define soccer as a sport, instead I call it a lifestyle, because soccer is a main part of my life.

The Laws of Soccer
The laws of the game are very brief, and are intended more to define the basic parameters rather than to describe how to play or officiate the game. A considerable amount of judgment and discretion has been given to the referee, who has full control, and whose decisions on matters of fact are not even subject to appeal. Following is a very brief introduction to the aspects of the game that are related to the laws. For a fuller explanation, you should look in the laws themselves or the "Frequently Asked Questions" web pages prepared especially for coaches. These exist in a brief summary version of around 15 pages and a comprehensive version of over 150 pages available in RTF or .zip format, both of which may be downloaded as document files. The links in the following text lead to the Coaches' FAQ on the LOTG. For more information on any of these subjects, please follow the link. There is also a page that offers suggestions on teaching the laws.
