How many goals can be scored from 5 meter, 6 meter, 7 meter and 8 meter away from the

football goal post using 6 different person's with each taking 6 shots at the goal from each

distance.

 INTRODUCTION

Football, also called association football or soccer, a game in which two teams of 11

players, using any part of their bodies except their hands and arms, try to maneuver the

ball into the opposing team’s goal that consists of two goal posts in order to score. Only

the goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball and may do so only within the penalty

area surrounding the goal. The team that scores more goals wins and is said that to win

special prizes and trophies. In Northern and Southern Europe and Central and South

America. It is said that it could go back to the 19 th century, since then no one knows

exactly when it was invented.

2
It carries two teams and 11 players, who try to score the ball into the opponent's goals.

These teams are equally splitted into midfielders,forwards and [Link] most

diplomatic skilled positions are between the defenders and midfielders because they are

always picked to the be the teams important players, in which they have to talk to team

members of the team and guiding them in their tactics. Top the most important rules in

football are no hands should be used, fouls, goals kick and corner kicks, penalty kick

and throw ins.

In our country we see football different at times, most times we use things like for e.g:

recycling bottles,coconuts, box juice boxes and a ball when it's necessary.

We use these types of things to play or put together a corner league competition during

holidays. Our competition has different style of playing original football around the world

Our corner league competition consists of 2,3,4 or even 5 players per team according

on the size of the football pitch we are playing on.

3
Our prize organization is different for the prize. In which the person who's keeping the

corner league competition collects a certain amount of money from each and every

team that choose to play in the corner league competition and which every team wins at

the end of the league gets to collect the money and other prizes.

There's even been multiple competitions that have been organize by Jamaica's

biggest football Association know as ISSA (Inter Secondary School Sports) . ISSA is

the company that  is responsible for all of the events taken place in Jamaica such as 

Pepsi, Cole's, Manning Cup, Walker cup and even Boys & Girls Champs .

4
This is where schools across Jamaica would have been selected to compete against

one another institution  for money, trophies and silverwares. There are also  activities

that the schools have invent to do on a annual basis, where they make classes

challenge one another for trophies and medals. 

ISSA  has also created  tournaments in Jamaica. Tournaments such as "The 

Red Stripe league. These are tournaments where clubs around Jamaica battle against

each other in a League for first place. These tournaments are decided by the club that

ends the football season with the most points, Trophies, prizes, special treatments and

also silverware.

5
The Red Stripe League is even more advanced and harder than the Manning Cup and

others. But the majority of the players who played in the Manning cup also got a chance

to play in the Red Stripe League in which coaches saw great talent in such a player.

Some even get a scholarship to play overseas because of how they played in the

Manning [Link] players have well-rounded scheme's that he/she has to perpetuate

to keep being some of the top players in the world. Essentially, they have to know and

understand the game of football almost perfectly. Training is also a main part, the main

thing is that. These player got to be very well discipline so that they can keep up with

intense training for hours and have good statistics.

6
Good statics area from the way a player stands or moves, to the place, positioning and

movements the whole team. In doing this research i will be observing most of the top

games online, therefore it will be difficult to do so in a time like this.

The objectives of doing this occupation is to:

- focus on the amount of goals scored in each matches

- approach the techniques used by every player that scored a goal

- get an understanding of the winning team

Each participant at a time is very paramount in order to have well-played group of

players and a great game. The restriction to my research is that I will be unable to see

the whole match or get interviews with some of the outstanding players to know their

techniques, everything has to be done effectively.

 METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION

For this research Devaughn and a few other players will attempt to score goals from a certain

angle and meters away from the goal, these meter numbers will be 5, 6, 7 and 8 meter distance

away from the football goal. Each person will attempt to score goals six times from each

distance. The amount of goals scored by each person at the different meters will be recorded out

of 6. The technique used by different individuals will also be recorded through short structured

interviews. Having obtained the information which will be documented by pen and paper, the

researcher’s techniques used to do so were observation and interviews.

 PRESENTATION OF DATA

This presentation of data will identify the amount of goals scored by each individual out

of the six tries.

 Figure.1 Shows that Devaugh score 5 goals, Alex & Jamory score 4, Jordan score 3 and

Rupert 2 scored goals respectively from 5 meter distance away from the goal post.

Figure.2 Shows the number of goals the players scored from the distance of 6 meters respectively

Devaughn & Alex score 5, Jamory & Walker score 4 and Rupert 2 away from the goal post.

Figure 4. This line graph presents the goals scored by each player at the distance 8 meters away

from the [Link], Jordan & Rupert scored 4 while Jamory scored 3 and Alex 5.

 ANALYSIS OF DATA

Figure 1 shows the amount of goals scored by each player at the distance of 5 meters. The mean

for these goals that were scored from the 5 meter distance is 3.6, the median of the number of

goals that were scored is 4 and 4 also represents the amount of goals that can be scored from 5

meters away from the goal. 40% of the players scored four goals, 25% of the players scored 5,

15%of the players scored 3 and 10% the remaining scored 2 goals.

Figure 2 shows the goals scored from 6meters away from the goal by each player. The mean of

which is 3.2, the median is 3 and the mode can either be 6 or 5 as both goals occurred two times.

20% scored 4, 40% scored 5 goals and the remaining 40% scored 6 goals.

Figure 3 shows the amount of goals scored from 7 meters away from the goal by each player.

40% scored 4 goals, another 40% scored 5 goals and the remaining 20% scored 2 goals. The

mean of these scores are 4, the median is 5 and the mode can either be 5 or 4.

Figure 4 shows the amount of goals scored by each player at 8 meters away from the goal. 40%

scored 4 goals, 20% scored 2, 3 goals were scored by another 20% and the remaining 20%

scored 6 goals.

16
 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS

Based on what information shown in the analysis of data. The mean of all the goals scored from

5, 6, 7, and 8 meters is equal to 3.5. All the goals put together that were scored by each player at

the different distances is equal to 70 in total which is then divided by 20. The median and the

mode of the goals scored by all the players is . Which further means that the optimum range of

goals scored by the players from the goal at each distance is 5.

17
 CONCLUSION

To conclude everything that Devaughn had found, is that the amount of goals scored according to

the distance away from the goal whether it's 5m, 6m, 7m or 8m the amount of goals is 8 meters.

The most relevant factor that contributes to this as to why the optimum of range for the scores

are so high based on the amount of tries they get can be either the technique used or how focused

or persistent the player is. The technique is the most relevant factor used by these players to help

them score the amount of goals they did from different distances; the most frequent technique

used by the players was to roll the ball or strike it.
