SOCCER: Variation:
Two b shape hands strike each other twice. The index-finger side of the right hand strikes the pinkie-side of left hand at the middle of the hand. Think of the left hand as the ball and the right hand as your foot.

Note, it is like the variation below, except both hands are "B" hands.

I really don't like this version. It just "feels" wrong to me. But quite a few people in my circle of friends seem to use this variation, so I'm going to include it here: If you see it a certain way in your area, please do let me know. Any of you Deaf soccer players from Brazil? I'd love to know YOUR sign for it! Contact me.

I have seen two other variations of soccer from what you have on your site:
1st: Shown on the kids tv show “Signing Time” she holds two “B” hands perpendicular to the floor and taps the right up under the left two times.
2nd: My ASL instructor (Dennis Waterhouse) does both “B” hands, left parallel to the floor and taps with right perpendicular hand.
I hope that helps add to the variety!
