Soccer Hobby


The things you can do with a soccer ball. There are many, many things that you can do with a soccer ball. It's almost human nature to want to play with a ball. One of the first words kids learn to pronounce is "ball," and it seems like young kids, from the earliest age can keep themselves, endlessly entertained, just by playing with a ball. They try to bite it as it slips out of their hands. They push it around on the floor and then crawl after it. They get so excited over it for some reason.

This love for a ball doesn't seem to go away with age. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People play soccer in every nation and country. It's a universal sport. It has simple rules and requires little equipment, but can still take a lot of skill to play it well. The entertainment of playing with a ball doesn't go away. Soccer players just kick a ball around for hours every game. They can't use their hands, so they kick it around with their feet, their heads and other parts of their bodies.

Some people like to juggle their soccer balls. You juggle a soccer ball by kicking it up and down in the air without letting it hit the ground. You can kick it up with your feet, your knees, your head, or any part of the body. Just don't let it hit the ground. It might take a while to learn how to do this well, but it's nice once you get good at it. It is one of those skills you can show off to all of your friends and might make you more attractive.

You can dribble a soccer ball. Just kick it around on the ground, kicking it back and forth between your feet as you run. Once you get good at dribbling, you can show it off in your game, cutting around people with awesome tricks. One of my favorite tricks is to roll the ball up the back of one of my legs and then kick it up and over my head with the back of my foot. It makes me look like a good soccer player, even though I can't do much else. It's the intimidation factor.

You can do a bicycle where you jump up in the air and kick the soccer balls while you are in the air, and then land on your back, or sort of land on your back. You have to land so that you can roll, keeping yourself from being injured to badly. You may have to try this one a few times before you can do it well, and might knock the wind out of yourself the first couple times or hit your head on the ground if you rotate too much on your back. But it feels pretty cool, once you can do it.

Similar to the bicycle, you can do a sidekick, where you jump in the air and kick the soccer ball, sideways, then fall on your side, instead of on your back. The cool thing about this soccer move is it makes you feel like a ninja while you are jump kicking it. It is also a little easier to land then the bicycle where you kick it over your head. With this soccer ball kick you can catch yourself with your hands when you fall sideways.

One more, nice thing about a soccer ball is that you can play with a soccer ball by yourself or with friends. I had one friend once who would go to the park and keep himself entertained for hours, just kicking a soccer ball around. He probably fantasized the whole time he was kicking the soccer ball around about attaining some sort of soccer glory, with the crowd yelling and cheering. You can play soccer with other people, one-on-one or with a large group. I myself enjoy more playing with a large group, then a small one, because soccer requires a lot of running and I have recently become a lazy, lazy man. But for those who are not lazy, you may like less people where you run the whole field.

Finally, one fun thing to do with a soccer ball is to just kick at as hard and as far as you can. It feels pretty cool as a kid to boot that thing and send it soaring away into the sky. So go get yourself a soccer ball today and start kicking away! The fun will never end with your soccer ball.
