MSFC Club Philosophy
Mansfield Samba Futbol Club’s
M a g n a C a rt a w i l l a l wa y s
be: It’s all about the kids!
Our first goal for our young players is
—FUN. A fun experience and
atmosphere creates passion in
children. If children become
passionate about a sport, they will
play at school, at home, everywhere,
and all the time. We want to see that
soccer passion and encourage it in all
Mansfield Samba Futbol Club players!
We will create many different soccer
venues for our players such as futsal,
small
sided
games,
Academy

sand soccer,

and play which we know is both fun
and creates great players with great
skills. This tried and true method of
2009
creating a quality soccer culture has
proven to be the most effective way
to create sophisticated players
throughout the world. It is through
this environment that we will help
your child achieve their greatest
potential and help ignite a passion for
the game within each child.
We plan to travel the world with our
players and have them play with other
children from around the world and
even bring those children to Mansfield
Samba Futbol Club to create a crosscultural soccer exchange.
"Every child is part of a family…
sometimes with many children." We
seek to understand and support the
families of Mansfield Samba Futbol
Club by offering an affordable
experience that in turn offers an
opportunity where every child can
play if he or she desires! As coaches and as parents working
with children, we constantly pursue
excellence in building character,
values, self-esteem, self-confidence,
and will continue to develop as both
trainers and teachers of the game of
soccer and life.
Great players will emerge through
our incredible system and soccer
culture strategy, but our eternal
legacy will be the impact on
thousands of families and children
who may never reach national or
international fame and recognition in
soccer but continue enjoying and
playing soccer many years after we
have all come and gone.

So You Think You
Know Soccer?
Question: Do you know
how many direct kick fouls
there are in soccer according
to FIFA’s “Laws of the Game?
Answer: Direct Kick Fouls For which the opposing team
receives a "direct free kick" (meaning
a goal can be scored by kicking the
ball straight into the goal) or a
"penalty kick" ("PK") if the foul
occurs within the Penalty Box (Note:
It doesn't matter whether the ball
was in the Penalty Box or not; what
matters is where the foul was
committed). There are 10 direct kick
fouls. The rules say that the referee
should call a foul for numbers 1 thru
6 if he believes they are committed in
a manner he considers "careless,
reckless or using excessive force":
1. Kicking or attempting to kick an
opponent. Accidentally kicking an
opponent while tackling the ball is
not a foul unless it was careless,
reckless, or there was excessive
force. If a player slide tackles from
the front, it will be considered at
least "dangerous play" (which is an
indirect kick foul), or kicking, or
tripping, or "unsporting behavior,"
even if the ball is contacted, since it
would at the least be reckless or
dangerous. (See "Cards, Red Card,
Serious Foul Play").
2. Tripping or attempting to trip an
opponent (if careless, reckless or
using excessive force).
3. Charging into an opponent (the
goalkeeper can also be called for this
if his action is careless, reckless or
uses excessive force).
4. Striking or attempting to strike
an opponent (if careless, reckless or
using excessive force).
5. Pushing an opponent, including
the goalkeeper (if careless, reckless
or using excessive force).
6. Jumping at an opponent in a
careless or reckless manner or using
excessive force (this includes
jumping for a header if an opponent
is carelessly or recklessly bumped,
and jumping at the goalkeeper).
7. Blatant holding or pulling
(including holding clothing, using any
part of the body to hold an
opponent & "Sandwiching").
8. Making contact with an
opponent before touching the ball
when tackling an opponent to gain
possession of the ball (Note: it is
always a foul if the tackler contacts
the ballhandler before touching the
ball. However, it can still be a direct
kick foul if the ball is touched first
but the tackler was "careless,
reckless, or used excessive force"
and was judged to have kicked,
tripped, charged or jumped at the
ballhandler. Or, if the Referee
believes the tackler played in a
"dangerous manner," an indirect kick
can be awarded).
9. Spitting at an opponent, even if
it doesn't hit the opponent (this is
grounds for a Red Card).
10. Deliberately handling the ball (a
"hand ball" should not be called if a
player is instinctively trying to
protect himself from injury or if the
ball hits the hand while it is in a
natural position near the players side
and has not been moved toward the
ball. See "Hand Ball" for more
details; this does not apply to the
goalkeeper inside his own penalty
area.)
