The adult soccer goal is 24 feet long and 8 feet high and the penalty shot, which is the shot I will use to keep a consistent point, is 12 feet from the bottom of the brings. The independent factors of the experiment are different camera angles. The dependent factors would be the number of goals scored. The controls of the experiment are the size of the goal, the type of soccer ball, the size and weight of the ball, the temperature in the gym, the soccer surface, and the measurement method. The variables that will influence the experiment are strength, speed, speed and, above all, experience. Football is played in over 200 countries around the world, making it the most popular sport. Over a billion fans watch the football World Cup on television, which is played every four years. Football players walk an average of six miles during each game. The United States and Canada are the only two countries that call it soccer. The first football games may have originated in China. The United States has more official soccer players than any other nation in the world, nearly 18 million. The first women's soccer team, called the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), made its debut in 2001. Soccer is a game that plays a lot on angles and sizes. Most wouldn't think that corners come into play when playing football, they simply kick at goal where they can. To take a good, accurate shot, you need to take into account where you are in relation to the goal and decide what the best angle would be to aim and shoot. The player's position in relation to the goal plays an important role in the difficulty of the shot. Furthermore, whether the player is a left or right player and the side of the goal he is on also plays an important factor... center of the sheet... distance, height and, above all, angles. The main thing I will look for in my experiment is how much corners play a role in scoring a goal and where they come into play the most. Using all the information I have found on how to kick, the correct distance from the goal when taking a foul shot, and the correct size of the goal, I will conduct an experiment with results as close to those of a real soccer match as possible. I won't use defenders that way I can get a better gauge of the angles I'm kicking from.
