Star Skills
Play like a Pro!

Football is the world’s biggest sport. Football is the world’s best sport. All you need is a ball and a fairly flat space, and you are ready to play. You can practice dribbling moves, juggling, and shooting on your own. You can work on passes with a friend. Or, best of all, if there are enough of you, you can play a match.

This book will help you become a better football player. You’ll find exercises to try out alone or with others, and simple tips on how to play well as a team; that’s what we call tactics. And along the way, you’ll learn more about the world’s greatest football stars and what made them so good.
