Which size soccer ball should you buy?
Measure yourself to find the right size soccer ball for you. To do this, stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. Use a tape measure to measure around your chest, just below your armpits. This measurement is your torso's circumference. Divide this number by 2 and multiply by 5. For example, if your chest is 40 inches long, divide this number by 2, and multiply by 5, which gives you 20. This is how big a circle with a diameter equal to 20 inches will be. This formula will give you an estimate of the size of the soccer balls you'll need.

How To
How to improve passing in soccer
Passing is a key skill in football (soccer). It involves moving and holding the ball. Success is dependent on your ability to communicate quickly and accurately.
In order to learn how to pass well, you must know what types of passes there are and when and where they should be made. It is important to practice these passes until you become a pro at it. There are four main types of passes: through passes, long passes, through balls, and short passes. Short passes are made from close range and move the ball forward. Long balls are thrown towards the goalkeeper of the opposing team. Through balls are passed directly to the middle of the pitch and through passes are then passed to another player who then plays it back to your goalkeeper.
Try to be simple when passing the ball. Also, make sure your partner has enough space before receiving it. You can lose your balance and even fall if you give your teammate too much space. Always cover your teammates when playing defense. This will prevent your opponents from attacking you.
Another important thing to remember when playing is not to throw the ball away. Tossing the ball away can make it more difficult to score, as opposing players may take advantage of your error. Always look for openings and opportunities to score goals. You should always look for gaps in your defense and exploit them.
It is important to practice daily if you want better play. For the next match, practice some drills. Be sure to warm up before the game begins. Then, you should give everything you have got during the game. Keep your head calm and cool. These will make you more efficient during a game.
