  • Two teams of eleven try to guide a soccer ball into goal cages at opposite ends of the field, using different parts of their body.
  • Only the goalkeeper may use his/her hands.
  • When a penalty is committed inside the eighteen-yard-line, the opposite team is granted a penalty kick.
  • A direct kick is when a team gets a penalty shot on goal and no other player has to touch it before a goal may be scored
  • An indirect kick is the same as a direct kick, but another player must touch the ball before a goal may be scored.
  • When a player on a team kicks the ball out of bounds, a player on the opposite team throws the ball in bounds by an overhead, two-handed throw.
  • Shoulder - to- shoulder contact is allowed.
