__**WHOLE SCENES:**__ Introduction: As you probably know, soccer is called football in most of the world. In the United States, football was already a sport so they couldn't have 2 sports called football. Soccer was called the Football Association. Soccer comes from the "assoc" of Association. It was then just called soccer sometimes and it stuck.

1. Start w/ Nick just juggling soccer ball (not a close up, far away). Chris walks over (closer shot), “Hello sir, are you playing soccer?” Nick is amazed “Why of course I am!” Chris-“Well, I have heard of the sport soccer but I have never played and i don't know how to play.” Nick-"Would you like me to teach you?" Chris-"Yes please!" Nick explains rules; "2 teams of eleven players, 2 45 minutes halves, no hands except goalies, try to score in the other teams goals. Chris-“That doesn’t sound too hard can you teach me how to kick the ball” Nick- “Definitely, there many ways to kick the ball but NEVER KICK THE BALL WITH YOUR TOE! (SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN KICK THE BALL WITH TOE: it hurts his toe and it is a bad kick). Nick- "To start, you should kick with top and inside of foot.” Chris tries, Nick says, “ Good job” then shows how to trap with inside of foot and top and head and chest .Nick-"You trap the ball with the inside of your foot just like you kick it but you just leave your foot there. If you trap the ball with the top of your foot-just step on the ball lightly. To trap the ball with your chest, you lean back and deaden the ball with your chest and let it fall to your feet. If you trap the ball with your head, you head the ball with your forhead down to your feet." Then Chris tries and then Nick tells Chris how to do tricks, “Scissors-circle foot around ball and then go the other way.” Chris tries. “Step over is when you step over the ball and then go the other way.” Chris tries. "Good job. You just need some practice."

2. Go to flash animation- Animation: Two kids playing soccer, passing the ball, then one kid plays goalie and one kid scores. Then go to interviews. Questions: Question 1: How do you feel about the sport soccer? Question 2:Why do you think soccer is the most popular sport in the world but not very popular in the United States.

3. Far shot of me practicing with Chris. Come closer Max asks, “Hey guys, can I play too?” Nick says “Certainly-do you know how to play?” Max- “Of course-its soccer” ‘Alrighty-you can play goalie, remember you can only use your hands inside the goalie box, which is eighteen yards long.” Max-“OK I’m ready.” Chris and Nick are shooting on Max. Then they start playing a game. Kyle comes and asks, “Can I be the referee.” “Yes of course we can play a game.” We film us playing games and slowly zoom out and fade to black-credits.

Conclusion: Now that you know how to play soccer, Chris and I will l tell you about the life of a famous soccer player-Alan Shearer.
