Spelling out the rules
Terminology to take to women's soccer
By Brad Hallier
Kansan sportswriter
Jayhawk football will be at Birmingham, Ala.; volleyball goes to Manhattan;; the Chiefs travel to Philadelphia and the Wizards are going to San Jose, Calif.
That's okay! Polish your cleats, and put on your old soccer jerseys! The Kansas women's soccer team is having its inaugural tournament this weekend. If your soccer vocabulary is a little rusty, here are some terms and other rules to take with you to the matches to understand the game better:
Game length: A 90-minute game, divided into two 45-minute halves.
Players: Each team has 11 players on the field, including the goalkeeper.
Penalty box: The bigger rectangle around the goals. It's 18 yards from the goal line to the top of the box.
Goal box: Also called the six-yard box. The smaller rectangle around the goals. No free kicks may take place inside this area.
Out-of-bounds: The entire ball must cross a sideline or goal line for it to be out of play.
Direct free kick: This kick may be shot directly into the goal without it touching anyone else.
Indirect free kick: This kick must be
touched by any two players before a goal can be scored.
Corner kick: Happens when a defender last touches the ball when it goes across their own goal line. It is a direct kick.
Goal kick: Happens when an offensive player last touches the ball when it goes across the goal line.
Throw in: How the game is restarted when the ball goes across the sideline. A player must have both feet on the ground, and the ball must be thrown from behind the head with two hands on the ball.
Offside: This is the most difficult rule to
understand and interpret. Basically, offensive players must have two defensive players between them and the endline to receive the ball. A player cannot be offside on his or her own half of the field, on
corner kicks or throw ins.
Yellow/Red cards: Also called bookings. The referee holds these up when a player fouls someone a little harder than normal or for dissent. Yellows are warnings, and reds are ejections. Two yellows equal a red. A team must play with one less player on the field when a player is issued a red card.
Substitution rules: The NCAA allows each player to enter the field once in the first half and twice in the second half and overtime.
Overtime: In the NCAA, two 15 minute periods, not sudden death.

Hoogveld knows handball, field hockey...
Hoogveld grew up playing a variety of sports, including volleyball, soccer, basketball, track, cross country, field hockey and handball.
While she excelled at soccer, she was also team MVP in handball at Bishop Grandin High School and was a city champion in cross country. Her handball team also took city and provincial titles.
So why did she choose soccer?
"I started playing soccer when I was 10," she said. "I liked it much more than other sports. I enjoyed myself because I was good at it, better than average anyway."
While Bishop Grandin didn't offer soccer as a high school sport, Hoogveld played soccer yearround with her club team.
Magner said that he likes her athleticism and said that she finished No. 1 in preseason tests for speed. He hopes that her goal against Central Missouri was a sign of things to come.
"That goal showed all her potential to take people on and finish very strong," he said. "It's not a fluke in the three games we have won. She has played very well."
