  • 2. 

    When the ball goes out of bounds how do you restart the ball?

    • Throw it in

    • Kick it in

    • Punch it in

    Correct Answer
    A. Throw it in
    Explanation
    When the ball goes out of bounds, it is typically restarted by throwing it in. This is a common practice in sports such as soccer or basketball. Players from the opposing team who did not touch the ball before it went out of bounds will throw it back into play. Kicking or punching the ball in would not be the correct way to restart the game in this situation.

    It is okay to pick up your feet while throwing in the ball.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Picking up your feet while throwing the ball is not okay because it can affect your balance and accuracy. When throwing a ball, it is important to have a stable base and maintain proper body mechanics to generate power and accuracy in the throw. Lifting the feet off the ground can disrupt this stability and lead to a less effective throw. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Which position is the most likely to score?

    • Forward

    • Midfield

    • Defense

    • Goalie

    Correct Answer
    A. Forward
    Explanation
    Forwards are the players who are primarily responsible for scoring goals in a soccer game. They are positioned closest to the opposition's goal and are often the main attacking players on the team. Their main objective is to create goal-scoring opportunities and to convert those opportunities into goals. Therefore, forwards are the most likely position to score in a soccer game.

    • Match-Up

    Correct Answer
    A. Kick-Off
    Explanation
    The first play of a game in sports like soccer or American football is called the kick-off. This is when one team kicks the ball to the opposing team to start the game. It is a crucial moment that sets the tone for the rest of the match and determines which team will have the initial possession.

    Which player tends to be called the playmaker because they tend to create space and options?

    • Sweeper

    • Center Midfielder

    • Stopper

    • Center Forward

    Correct Answer
    A. Center Midfielder
    Explanation
    A Center Midfielder tends to be called the playmaker because they have a central role in the team's formation and gameplay. They are responsible for distributing the ball, creating space for their teammates, and providing options for attacking plays. Their ability to read the game, make accurate passes, and create scoring opportunities makes them crucial in orchestrating the team's attacks.

    In a professional game, which position runs an average of 7 miles a game?

    • Forward

    • Midfield

    • Defense

    • Goalie

    Correct Answer
    A. Midfield
    Explanation
    Midfielders in a professional game typically run an average of 7 miles per game. This position requires players to cover a large area of the field, both defensively and offensively. Midfielders are responsible for transitioning the ball from defense to attack and vice versa, making them constantly involved in the game and requiring them to cover a significant distance. Their role involves both attacking and defending, which necessitates a high level of endurance and running throughout the match.

    What is the referee signaling? - ProProfs

    What is the referee signaling?

    • Direct Kick

    • Indirect Kick

    Correct Answer
    A. Indirect Kick
    Explanation
    The referee is signaling for an indirect kick. An indirect kick is awarded when a player commits a less serious foul or when certain technical infractions occur. In an indirect kick, the ball must touch another player before a goal can be scored. The referee may raise their arm at a 45-degree angle to indicate that the kick is indirect.
