of the game

from the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari
• It began some 500-600 years later and is still
played today
• Standing in a circle, the players had to pass
the ball to each other, in a relatively small
space, trying not to let it touch the ground

8. The ball in different courts
• The Greek 'Episkyros' was much livelier, as was
the Roman 'Harpastum'.
• The latter was played out with a smaller ball by
two teams on a rectangular field marked by
boundary lines and a centre line.
• The objective was to get the ball over the
opposition's boundary lines and as players passed
it between themselves, trickery was the order of
the day.
• The game remained popular for 700-800 years,
but, although the Romans took it to Britain with
them, the use of feet was so small as to scarcely
be of consequence.

18. Game Basics
Kickoff – The kickoff is used to begin play at the start of a
game, second half, each new period, and after a goal
has been scored.
Dribbling – To maintain control of the ball and advance it
before passing off to a teammate or shooting on
goal. The ball is advanced by pushing with the instep of
the foot.
Trapping – The purpose of a trap is to deflect a moving ball
and bring it under control so that it may be
advanced or passed. A trap should result in the ball
dropping near your feet so that you have
control of the ball. Most traps are with the feet although
other body parts are often used.

19. Clearing - An attempt to get the ball out of a
opponents scoring position.
Heading – To properly head the ball a player should
keep his/her eyes up, position yourself under the
ball, and allow the ball to meet your hairline.
Using this technique the player can see the ball and
direct it either into the goal or to a teammate in
the form of a pass.
Throw-in – When a ball is kicked out of bounds the
opposing team is awarded the ball in the form of a
throw–in. A player from the opposing team must
throw the ball back into play from out of bounds
using a two-handed overhead throw while keeping
both feet in contact with the ground.
