Best Answer

Soccer is properly called Association Football. Being a football game of the most basic sort (some other football games allow, encourage, or require hand use), it is meant to be played primarily with the feet. Only the goalkeeper may handle the ball, and only within his or her own penalty area, and there are even restrictions on that.

An overview of soccer?

Soccer is a sport where there is a large rectangular field with netted goals on each end of the field. The point of the game is to try to make the soccer ball go in the opposing teams net. You have to keep the ball in bounds. If your team kicks the ball out of bounds, the opposing team throws the ball in with two hands over the head, making sure to keep their feet on the ground. You must only use your feet in this game, except for throw-ins. Also, the goalie can pick the ball up when the ball is in the box...an area marked off that is close to the goal. The goalie must try to not allow the ball to make it into the net. If a goal is scored, the opposing team scores one point. If someone uses their hands on the field and they are not the goalie, there is a penalty called. When this happens, the ball is placed on the ground from which the foul occurred and the opposite kicks the ball. That is a basic overview of soccer!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
