The game starts at center line with a kick off by the home team, from there, you must keep the ball in your possession, if you’re the home team, or get the ball in your possession.

dodging at you trying to get the ball. Since soccer is a team sport you are able to pass the ball to your teammates which makes it easier to get the ball to the opponents goal.
