    • Curve away from the the teammate you are passing to

    Correct Answer
    A. Be on the ground
    Explanation
    When passing the ball to your teammate, it is generally recommended for the ball to be on the ground. This allows for easier control and accuracy in the pass, as the teammate can easily receive the ball without having to jump or adjust their position. Additionally, a pass along the ground reduces the chances of the ball being intercepted by an opponent.

    Correct Answer
    A. Turn away from the opponents and find space
    Explanation
    When there are several opponents right in front of you while dribbling the ball, it is advisable to turn away from them and find space. This allows you to create distance from the opponents and potentially open up passing lanes or create opportunities for yourself or your teammates. By turning away from the opponents, you can also avoid losing possession of the ball or being tackled by the opponents. Finding space gives you more time and options to make a decision and continue the play effectively.

    Explanation
    The phrase "Move to Space" suggests the action of physically relocating oneself to outer space.

    • Move to space

    • Run towards your opponents goal

    • Follow the ball to the teammate who received it

    • Move to the closest opponent

    Correct Answer
    A. Move to space
    Explanation
    Moving to space after passing the ball to your teammate is the correct answer because by doing so, you create open areas on the field where you can potentially receive a return pass or find yourself in a better position to support your team. Moving to space also helps to create passing options for your teammate and makes it more difficult for the opponents to mark you effectively. This allows for better team coordination and increases the chances of maintaining possession and creating scoring opportunities.

    • Running towards the ball

    • Standing still and waiting for a good pass

    • Kicking the ball

    • Moving to space

    • Walking towards your teammate

    Correct Answer
    A. Moving to space
    Explanation
    When playing soccer, it is most important to be constantly moving to space. This means positioning oneself in areas of the field where there is open space, away from opponents, in order to receive a pass or create opportunities for teammates. By constantly moving to space, players can provide options for their teammates, maintain good positioning, and increase the chances of being involved in the game. This also allows for better ball control and decision-making as players can adjust their positions based on the flow of the game.

    What is the first and most IMPORTANT rule of good defense?

    • Steal the ball from your opponent

    • Keep your opponent on their half of the field

    • Always stay 5 yards from your opponent

    • Pressure ball

    Correct Answer
    A. Pressure ball
    Explanation
    The first and most important rule of good defense is to pressure the ball. By putting pressure on the ball, defenders can disrupt the opponent's attack and force them into making mistakes or giving up possession. This allows the defending team to regain control of the ball and prevent the opponent from creating scoring opportunities. Pressuring the ball also helps to limit the opponent's time and space, making it harder for them to make accurate passes or take shots on goal.

    Correct Answer
    Pressure
    Explanation
    "Turn away from pressure" means to avoid or resist the influence or force exerted by pressure. It implies not succumbing to the demands or expectations that pressure may impose on an individual. By turning away from pressure, one can maintain their independence, make decisions based on their own values, and avoid being overwhelmed or influenced negatively by external factors.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aren't doing it right,arent doing it right,aint doing it right,aren't do'in it right,arent do'in it right".
