History

Although ancient civilizations played a basic version of soccer more than 3,000 years ago, the game was refined to its current form in England during the 1860s. Today, millions of athletes compete on soccer fields across the U.S., and worldwide, soccer boasts more participants than any other sport.

Object of the Game

Players use their entire body, except the hands, to kick or deflect a ball into the opponent's goal. The team that scores more goals than the opposition wins the game.
