Your Football Kit - the Complicated Story of What You Can and Cannot Wear on the PitchThis is the Football Kit Page of the How to Play Soccer-Soccer School on Spain-Football.Org.
In This Section: Be Careful About What You Wear!What a player wears should never create any degree of risk either for the player himself or for any of his opponents. This rule applies particularly to accessories or jewelery, such as watches, bracelets, chains, earrings and rings - the referee can order a player to remove any such items.In certain cases, players are allowed to wear glasses. This was the case with the ex-Dutch International and Barça player Edgar Davids, who suffered from glaucoma. If anything element of the football kit that the player is wearing breaks the rules, the referee can order him (or her) off the pitch and oblige him to remove the offending items.
The Goalkeeper's EquipmentThe goalkeeper is obliged to wear a football kit that distinguishes him from the rest of the players and the referee. He is allowed to wear a tracksuit bottom, gloves and a cap - as long as the peak of the cap doesn't represent any kind of danger to other players.The Captain's ArmbandBecause the referee needs to tell him apart from the rest of the players, the captain of each team wears an armband that's at least 4 centimetres wide and is a different colour to that of his shirt.You Are the RefA player shoots and scores but in the process loses a football boot that obstructs the opposing goalkeeper. What do you do?The goal isn't considered valid and play is restarted from the position where the ball was kicked.
Internet Resources for Soccer PlayersAs I do more and more research on the Internet on football-related topics I come across an ever increasing number of fantastic resources. Here are a few of the best ones I´ve found so far but with time this could turn into a complete section on different aspects of the art of playing and coaching. KITBAG really has just about the best range of football kit and equipment available on the Net. They're particularly good for exclusives. For example, Kitbag was the first company to have David Beckham Milan shirts on sale - TRULY IMPRESSIVE!Blast The Ball is quite simply the best video available for learning all about kicking a soccer ball – covers everything from techniques, aerodynamics, parts of the ball etc. The promotional video is certainly worth watching as it is a lesson in itself. Total Soccer Fitness is a free fitness course that comes in five email instalments and is ideal for players, parents and coaches alike. Soccer Tutor is a set of 250 Soccer Drills endorsed by Adidas, Umbro and Leyton Orient amongst others. If you coach a youth team and want to work on their soccer skills, this selection will keep you in ideas for season after season as your players advance from beginner to professional. It´s particularly useful if you plan on taking your your FA or UEFA coaching licence and even if you're only interested watch the demo video – it's excellent. The guy that does the voiceover is so obviously a football professional. Game of two halves, innit? The Fastbreak Soccer Practice Book Although not quite as intuitive as Soccer Tutor also contains Soccer Drills, this ebook is worth having a look at if only for the free Training Schedules available in PDF format. Elite Soccer Coach is a very handy guide for football coaches and comes with two more ebooks on Fitness and Formations.
