Web. 12 Oct. 2010. <http://www.strength-and-power-for-volleyball.com/volleyball-techniques.html>.Soccer<br />History of Soccer<br />During the second part of the 19th century in England, rugby as well as most sports experienced a massive surge in popularity. This was mostly an effect of the Industrial Revolution, which drew people in cities and factories, depriving them from the typical outdoor activities of rural life. Recreation became common and people turned to sport on Sundays, in addition to their religious activities. British traders, sailors and workers spread sport and football all over the globe through their web of colonies.<br />Soccer positions<br />Teaching Soccer Positions is complicated by the fact that, except for Fullbacks at young ages, players often move around the field and don't stay in one place. So, the positions are quot;
relativequot;
to each other. Generally, when on Defense, the quot;
leftquot;
side players should stay on the left side of the field, the quot;
rightquot;
side players on the right side of the field (left and right are as you face the opposing Goalkeeper), Fullbacks should be closer to their Goalkeeper than their Midfielders are, and Midfielders should be closer to their Goalkeeper than their Forwards are. These guidelines also apply to a degree when a team is on offense, but not as strictly. Offense is more creative than defense and players often need to move to quot;
open spacequot;
or work together and be opportunistic in order to score; this is particularly true with Midfielders and Forwards, because most coaches may want their Fullbacks to be conservative and stay in a defensive position in case there is a counterattack by the opponent. <br />Soccer Rules<br />Freekick-A soccer freekick is a great scoring opportunity. It is often occurred when one of your opponents commits a foul on either you or one of your teammates (for example; pushing, tripping or missing a slide tackle). The referee may also reward your team with a free kick if one of your opponents touches the ball with his hands.<br />The number of players-According to the official soccer rules, a team can have 10 outfield players and one goalie on the field. The amount of substitutions may vary but in official competition games there are only 3 substitutions allowed per team. In other type of games like friendly games or inside soccer the coach is usually allowed to perform an unlimited amount of substitutions. In youth games there are generally 6 outfield players and a goalie. The field and goals are also smaller than the regular ones.<br />Duration of the game-The duration of the match is different and depends on what competition you are participating in. If you play a regular soccer game (11 vs. 11), the time is 45 minutes per half plus overtime. However, in a cup there can also be extra time, 30 minutes (15 minutes per half). However, if you are playing an inside game the time is usually much shorter (about 12 minutes in futsal). <br />Method of Scoring-In order to score a goal you need to send the whole ball over the goal line, between the goalposts and also under the crossbar. If not, then the referee might not approve the goal. If your team scores more goals then your opponents, the victory will be yours. However, if the game ends without goals or if both teams score an equal number of goals, then the match will end as draw. In some competitions, the soccer rules are little different as a game cannot end as a draw. Instead, an extra time is added. If the game ends as a draw even after the extra time a penalty shootout is used to determine the winner of the game.<br />The Offside-Many people see the offiside rule in soccer as something very complicated and hard to understand. However, I ensure that it is not more harder to learn than any other of the soccer rules presented in this guide. So, let me give you some examples on some common offside situations. You will be in offside if you are nearer your opponent’s goal line than your second last opponent and the ball. However, you will not be in offside if you are nearer your own half, in level with the second and also in level with the last two opponents. <br />Fouls and Misconduct-According to the official soccer rules of FIFA, you will be cautioned and the referee will show you the yellow card if you commit any of the following offences; You are delaying the restart of play. The referee found you guilty for unsporting behavior. You are throwing or kicking the ball away after the referee blows his whistle. You are entering or re entering a game without referees permission. Leaving the field without referee’s permission will also get you a yellow card. There are more things that may give you a yellow card but the above mentioned are the most common things players are punished for.<br />The Penalty Kick-right0The soccer penalty kick rule is a type of kick that is taken from twelve yards (about 11 meters) out from the goal line of your opponents. The goal kick taker, keeper and the referee are allowed to stand inside the 18 yard box. However, all other players must remain outside the 18 yard box until the ball is kicked. A player is allowed to kick the ball another time if the ball rebounds back to him. However, during a penalty shootout this rule is not available. <br />Dimensions of a Soccer Field<br />Dribbling<br />Before you can take on defenders, you must learn the proper mechanics of dribbling. Dribbling can be done with the inside, outside, instep, and sole of the foot. You should be able to run with the ball or change direction, while keeping it under your control. When you want to pick up speed, do not kick the ball farther away. Instead, move your feet quicker thus pushing the ball more frequently. When dribbling into space, don't just fix your eyes on the ball. Learn to simultaneously dribble and scan the field around you.<br />Kicking<br />There are two general types of kicks based on the position of the ball, ground kicks and volleys.<br />Ground kicks-In order to produce a quality kick you'll need balance and composure. The placement of your supporting foot is just as important as your other, kicking foot. To control the height of your shot or pass, be aware of where your supporting foot is, in relation to the ball. By placing your supporting foot in line with the ball, you will achieve power while keeping your kick low. By placing it slightly behind, you will produce a rising or lofted ball. Your upper body also plays a role when kicking the ball. When you lean back, the ball will rise and if you lean forward your kick remain low and hard.<br />In order to get the maximum power from a strike, the knee of your kicking leg has to be above or in line with the ball at the exact moment you make contact. Follow-through in a sweeping motion in direction of your target. If you have trouble understanding this concept, try landing on your kicking foot after you strike the ball.<br />Volleys-When striking the ball in the air, proper balance is essential. Therefore, you need to adapt to the path of the ball by making quick adjustments in your footing. You are ready to swing only after you have positioned yourself at a proper distance from the ball. You should not attempt a volley, if you feel that you are reaching out too far or when the ball is too close to your body for a good swing.<br />Some situations may require jumping and volleying at the same time. Stay composed and concentrate on timing your leap.<br />Bibliography<br /> quot;

![Basketball<br />1. Defense<br />-Man to Man<br />Man-to-man defense is a type of defensive tactic used in basketball, in which each player is assigned to defend and follow the movements of a single player on offense. Often, a player guards his counterpart (e.g. center guarding center), but a player may be assigned to guard a different position. The strategy is not rigid however, and a player might switch assignment if needed, or leave his own assignment for a moment to double team an offensive player.<br />-Zone<br />Zone defense is a type of defense used in team sports, which is the alternative to man-to-man defense; instead of each player guarding a corresponding player on the other team, each defensive player is given an area, or a quot;
zonequot;
, to cover.<br />A zone defense can be used in virtually all sports where a defending team is present.<br />2. Offense<br />quot;
4-Outquot;
This is a more simple, free-lance style of 4-out motion offense that uses the rules explained below under quot;
General Rulesquot;
. Refer to the diagram to see the basic set-up for this offense. <br />With quot;
4-Outquot;
, our post player moves as the ball moves, using the low blocks, anywhere up and down the lanes, paint area, elbows and high post (free-throw line area)... basically anywhere he/she can get open for a pass inside.When the ball is on top (O1 or O2), O5 should locate at high-post, ball-side elbow area. If the ball is passed to O5 at the high post, O3 and O4 should be thinking about a back-cut to the hoop if they are being denied the pass. O5 passes to the back-cutter for the easy lay-up.When the ball is on the low wing, corner (O3 or O4), then O5 should move down to the ball-side low post. <br />1-3-1 offense<br /> The one will pass the ball to the three and the four will cut to the sideline.<br /> The three passes the ball to the four and then cuts towards the basket. If the three is open, the four will bounce pass to them and the three will drive for a layup.As the three is cutting to the basket, the one takes the threes place and the two takes the ones place.The five follows after the three as a second option to the four making a pass.<br /> If there is no pass available to the three or five, the four passes the ball to the one to start a reversal of the basketball.The three continues through the lane to the other wing.The five is following through the lane as well.<br /> The one passes the ball to the two at the top of the key.The three makes her way to the other wing while the five makes her way to the elbow. <br /> <br />The two passes the ball to the three for the open jumper.The four runs the baseline to look for a pass if the open jumper isn't there.The five is back at the foul line looking for the ball if the open jumper is not there. <br /> The three takes the open jumper.If there isn't an open jumper, then the three passes to the four and cuts towards the hoop.The five and four crash the boards for the rebound if the shot is taken.The five follows the three through the lane if the pass is made instead of the shot, the two takes the threes place and the one takes the twos place, and the cycle starts again from the left side.If the rebound is there either put it back up or kick it back out to start the cycle over again.<br />Bibliography<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/pebasketballvolleyballandsoccer-101018200133-phpapp01/85/pebasketballvolleyball-and-soccer-1-320.jpg)
