  • Essay / Football: Goal Geometry - 770

    The adult football goal is 24 feet long by 8 feet high, and the penalty shot, which is the shot I will use in order to keep a consistent position, is 12. a few meters from the back of the goal. Factors independent of experience are different shooting angles. The dependent factors would be the number of goals scored. The controls for the experiment are the size of the goal, the type of soccer ball, the size and weight of the ball, the temperature in the gymnasium, the hitting surface, and the measurement method. The variables that will affect experience are strength, speed, speed, and most importantly, experience. Football is played in over 200 countries around the world, making it the most popular sport. More than a billion fans watch the FIFA World Cup, which is played every four years, on television. Football players run an average of six miles each game. The United States and Canada are the only two countries to call it football. The first football matches could have originated in China. The United States has more official soccer players than any other country in the world, almost 18 million. The first women's soccer team, called the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), debuted in 2001. Soccer is a game that is played a lot on angles and measurements. Most wouldn't think that angles come into play when playing soccer, they just throw them into the goal wherever they can. To make an effective and accurate shot, you need to consider your position in relation to the goal and decide what angle would be best for aiming and kicking. The position of the shooter in relation to the goal plays a major role in the difficulty of the shot. Additionally, whether the kicker is a left or right footed kicker and the side of the goal he is on also plays an important factor... middle of paper ...... distance, height and, most importantly, angles . . The main thing I will look for in my experiment is to what extent angles play a role in aiming and where they come into play the most. Using all the information I have found on how to shoot, distance appropriate in relation to the goal during a foul shot and the correct dimensions of the goal, I will conduct an experiment with results as close to a real football match. as possible. I won't use defenders this way to get a better gauge of the angles I'm kicking from. com/downloads/Mathematics%20on%20the%20Soccer%20Field.pdf http://prezi.com/ung7f0ke-fbw/geometry-in-soccer/ http://www.socceru.com/how_to_kick_soccer_ball.htm http:// www.unc.edu/~ncrani/soccer1.htm
