Abstract

Soccer is, without question, the most popular sport in the world. It is easy to learn, relatively safe, can be played by those of all athletic abilities, and offers equal opportunities for boys and girls. Unlike other sports, soccer is a game of non-stop movement that requires a player to move quickly in all directions. It is also unique in that the players must use their feet to control and advance the ball. This chapter provides the reader with a resource for the variety of footgear available to the modern soccer player.
