What the Pictures Show
Most of the sport pictures here are about soccer, and a smiling boy in a number 10 jersey appears in many of them. He kicks, heads, dribbles, and jumps in different scenes. Some pictures are simple, like a boy juggling a ball on his knee. Others are busier, like three players blocking a ball in front of a goal.
Not every picture shows action. You will also find a trophy with a 1st place star, a winner medal with ribbons, and a podium where three boys celebrate. Gear pictures include cleats, shin guards, and a duffel bag with a ball poking out.
Action Scenes
- Bicycle Kick: a boy kicks a ball high in the air near a goal
- Chest Trap: a boy traps the ball against his chest on the grass
- Sliding Tackle: a boy kicks a ball across a field under fluffy clouds

Words Children Can Learn
Each picture shows a moment that has a name. Ask your child to point to it and say the word out loud as they color.
- Throw-in: a player uses both hands to restart play after the ball leaves the side line. See the Soccer Player Throwing in Ball picture.
- Header: a player hits the ball with the head. The Soccer Player Jumping for Header picture shows this.
- Substitution: a new player comes in to replace someone who leaves the game. The Soccer Substitute picture shows a board for this.
- Captain's armband: a band worn on the arm by the team captain. The Soccer Captain picture shows one.

Fun Ways to Color Together
Try these ideas with your child or your class. Each one takes only a few minutes.
- Start with Soccer Training. Have your child trace the winding path from the start flag to the finish with a finger first.
- Pick one team color for the number 10 jersey. Then use a different color for the number 7 jersey in Soccer Players Exchanging Jersey.
- Before coloring, ask your child to act out the move in a picture, like a penalty kick or a goalkeeper save.
- Color the sky in the Soccer Player Taking Penalty Kick picture a bright blue, then add a sun in the corner.
Ask your child which picture shows a moment they would like to try on a real field.
Questions Parents and Teachers Ask
Can I get all of these pictures at once?
Yes. Each picture has its own PDF, and this page has a Download all as one PDF button. Each sub-category page, like the soccer coloring pages, has its own Download all button too. Pictures are sized for US Letter paper.
Which level should I start with for a 3-year-old?
Easy pictures are made for ages 2 to 4. Examples include the lion mascot balancing a soccer ball and the referee blowing a whistle. Medium suits ages 5 to 7, and Tricky suits ages 8 and up. Start with Easy and move up when your child is ready.
Do these work for kids who do not play soccer?
Yes. Many sport coloring pages show everyday moments, like a boy tying his shoes or a trophy with confetti falling. Kids who like sports in general often enjoy the gear pictures and the celebration scenes.
My child gets frustrated with the Tricky pictures. What should I do?
Start with a smaller area, like the shin guards or the cleats, and let your child pick the colors. Tricky pictures have many small parts, so it is fine to finish over several sittings. Praise the parts they finished, not just the whole page.
