The United States Soccer Federation (“U.S. Soccer”) has several free PDF documents pertaining to the US versions of the “Laws of the Game”, including:
- 2007 Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game
- 2007-08 Laws of the Game (English)
- Interpretation of the Laws of the Game and Guidelines for Referees
If you want to know the rules of the game, or maybe require them as a referee, you need the official versions.

Now you can get, not one – but two – completely free downloadable soccer rules ebooks!
Both books are in PDF format and you need the free Acrobat reader to view them on your computer. Most computers already have it, but if required, you can get Acrobat here. Afterwards, you can print them out and impress everyone at your next coach’s or parent’s meeting!
The Soccer Parents Kick! newsletter will send you free soccer drills via email! This will help to improve your performance as a soccer parent.
The newsletter has a low number of mailings (approx. 1 per month), so won’t flood your inbox.

In conjunction with FIFA, an international group of experts has developed “The 11+” warm-up package for soccer players.
Warming up prior to playing and training is a matter of routine for any serious player. A smart warm-up not only improves your performance, but also helps you to prevent injuries. “The 11+”, the new injury prevention programme from FIFA’s Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC), provides a complete, football-specific warm-up and can easily be integrated into a daily training routine.
