Creating your own soccer team

If you want to play soccer, and there aren’t any teams or spaces available in your local area, then why don’t you try putting your own soccer team together? This is a good way to exercise, have fun and make new friends!
What you need:

  • Eleven players for each team
  • Two goals (plastic is cheaper and mobile)
  • Soccer ball (or two!)
  • Uniforms (optional, or you could make your own)
  • Shin pads
  • Goal keeper gloves
  • Cleats

Once you have all of these things, then what you need is a location in which to play your game, and this could be anywhere where you live- public playing fields, at your local sports centre even your own garden if it is big enough. If you are having problems finding a place, then you could always try renting out an inside pitch at your local gym if possible.
Then you must choose which player will play which position- making sure that you pick the goal keeper carefully and then you should arrange a time and day when your team can meet up at least once a week- remember, practise makes perfect and soon you could be challenging your neighbour hood teams!
