German football season ends in mid-December and resumes in mid-January
The German football seasons are interrupted for the winter break from mid December to mid January. The break is shorter this year than usual because of World Cup preparations. The German clubs still play their games. The Bundesliga's winter break is usually around 10 days.
The German football season is divided into several divisions: the Bundesliga, the 2. Bundesliga, and the 3. Liga. Bundesliga, which is the premier division, contains the top teams. There are 43 Bundesliga clubs. Bayern Munich is the top team with 31 titles. BFC Dynamo, with 10 titles in DDR-Oberliga, and 1. FC Nurnberg, with nine titles.
The season's final game is a 2-legged playoff between the Bundesliga's third place team and the second-place team from the 2. Bundesliga. The Bundesliga's final spot will be contested by the winner. The Bundesliga's bottom three teams were always automatically relegated. The top three teams from the 2. Bundesliga have been relegated from 1992 to 2008. They were replaced by the Bundesliga from 1992 to 2008.
Spain offers the shortest winter break
This winter, nine Bundesliga clubs are heading to Spain. This is a significant change from recent years, when half of the teams headed to Belek, Turkey, for their winter break. However, Turkey's political unrest has discouraged many clubs from spending their winter holidays there. The Bundesliga winter break is shorter than that of the rest Europe so it's more popular to stay at home.
Spain will have a shorter break from winter than Italy this season. From the midweek round in December to early January, Spain's leagues will be closed for 11 days. It's half the length of Germany's break. The break starts after the Liga matchday, December 23, 2017, and ends three days later after the Copa del Rey's first 16 game on January 3. Barcelona's regular season resumes on January 4, and Italy's league resumes on Jan 22.
The German winter break in 2009 was reduced from six to four weeks. While this is still a longer break than in most European leagues it is advantageous for players. This allows them to rest and enjoy the holidays with their families. Clubs can also take advantage of the winter break to travel and recharge in the New Year.

How To
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. It is important to practice these passes until you become a pro at it. There are four main types of passes: through passes, long passes, through balls, and short passes. Short passes are made from close range and move the ball forward. Long balls are thrown out towards the opponent's penalty area. Through balls can be passed directly into the pitch's middle, and through passes to another team member are used to pass the ball to your goalkeeper.
You should keep your pass simple and make sure you have enough space for your teammate to receive it. Your teammate may lose his balance, or even fall, if he doesn't have enough space to receive the ball. If you are playing defense, it is important to cover your teammates as much as possible. You will make it difficult for your opponents to attack you.
Another thing that you should remember during a game is that you should never throw 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. If there are gaps in your defence, exploit them.
Playing better is possible by practicing daily. Try to do some drills to get yourself ready for the next match. Make sure that you warm up properly before a game starts. Then, give your best during the game. Remember to keep your head cool and calm. These habits will help you perform better in a competitive game.
