1-You get together often for pizza parties with your teammates+your coaches
2-A good soccer player controls the ball with his head high+his eyes on the field, not the ball

9-The main skill is running back+forth down the field trying to maneuver around opponents+still having the soccer ball under control

Answers:
This is all about soccer, so the topic sentence has to have the word "soccer" and be an overall statement which sets the theme for the paragraph. I see two to choose from: 6 and 7. When you look at all of the sentences, they can basically be put into two groups: those talking about the social aspect of soccer as a team sport and how fun it is, and those which talk about the more technical aspects of playing the sport. The first group goes with 6 and the second group goes with 7.

Bascially, take your choice about whether to make the paragraph about the fun/social aspect of the soccer or the technical aspects of playing the game, start with 6 or 7 (as appropriate) and fill in the rest with that theme. Try to end the paragraph on a concluding statement. Sentences which don't fit that theme should be eliminated (if it was an essay, they'd go in a separate paragraph).

Try doing the paragraph both ways -- one may have a better feel than the other. Submit the one you like better as your solution.

Hope that helps -- I'm not going to list them and do the assignment for you, but that should clarify the question and get you started.
