If your chest measures 40 inches in diameter, multiply this number by 2 and multiply it by 5. That is the circumference of a sphere with a diameter of 20 inches. This formula can be used to calculate the size of your soccer ball.

How to improve passing in soccer
The most important skill in soccer (football) is passing. It involves moving the ball from player to player while maintaining possession of the ball. To be successful, you must be able pass quickly and accurately.
In order to learn how to pass well, you must know what types of passes there are and when and where they should be made. Practice them until you are comfortable with them. There are four types of passes: short passes, long balls and through balls. Short passes are usually made at close range and are usually made to move the ball forward. Long balls will be thrown to the opponents' penalty area. Through balls are thrown directly in the middle of a pitch. After that, through passes are made to another member of your team who plays the ball back towards your goalkeeper.
When making a pass, try to keep it simple and make sure that your teammate has enough space before he receives it. If your teammate does not have enough room to receive the ball, he may lose his balance or even fall down, thus losing control of the ball. When playing defense, you should always cover your teammates if possible. This will prevent your opponents from attacking you.
Another thing you need to remember is not throwing the ball away. Tossing the ball around makes it difficult to score. The other players could make use of your mistake. Always look for scoring opportunities and open spaces. You should always look for gaps in your defense and exploit them.

Then, you should give everything you have got during the game. Remember to keep your head cool and calm. These tips will allow you to perform better in a game.
