Go to a game. You have to understand the game before you can become a player. A good way to start to learn the basics of soccer is to watch a game in person. If you want to watch a professional game, the Major Soccer League Website has a schedule of all upcoming games. The National Women’s Soccer League, which features 10 teams, also posts its schedules online. You can check out local high school or college teams if there is not a professional team in your area. Ask your friends who play if you could cheer them on at their next game.
