You do not need much to
play soccer.
You need a ball.
You need shoes.
You need a net.
There are two teams.
They play on a grass field.
Each team has a net at one end
of the field.
Why do the
teams wear
different shirts?
Players cannot use their hands.
They must kick the ball.
Only the goalie can pick
up the ball.
The goalie stands in front
of the net.
Why do you
think the
goalie can pick
up the ball?
Players pass the ball to their
teammates.
They run down the field.
They try to kick the ball past
the goalie.
Why do you
think players
pass the ball?
The ball goes into the net!
That is called a goal.
The team with the most
goals wins the game.
You can see a soccer game at
your school.
Or your town might have a
soccer stadium.
People play soccer all year long.
It is a great sport!
