Defence:
-Right
-Center
-Left

A defensive player controls the end closest to their own net. It protects the area from opposing players creating an opportunity to score. Defensive players play as blockers. If the opponent has the ball and is facing the goal, they do not give him or her room to shoor. They try to now let their opponent pass them and always remain on their toes ready to sprint at any time to protect the net.  Defensive players play with an aggressive and intimidating attirude, making their opponent think about them, and not what is going on around the field. The defenders want to push the ball up the field, most likely to the midfielders.

Midfield:
-Right
-Center
-Left

The midfield players try to protect the ball from getting to the defenders. The midfields are in the center of the field and work together with the defenders and the forwards to try to bring the ball to the opponents side. They work as supporters to the center forwards and help them create opportunities to score. Midfielders has many jobs the he/she can do. They can rarely afford to rest while the game is going on.  They have to run back and forth and play both defensively and offenceivly. They can score, defent, pass, dribble, or just try to keep the ball away from the opponents. It is important to have a strong set of midfielders in a game of soccer.

Forward:
-Right
-Center
-Left

Forwards need to have a strong kick because they cannot dribble around the opponent's defenders all the time. An offensive player has to do as much passing as any other position on the field if not more. They are the main scorers in the game, and are the closets to the opponents net. Their main goal is to score as much as they can.

Goalie:
The goal keeper is one of the most important positions in soccer. They protect their net from the opponents and work as an attacker to do anything they can to prevent the opposing team from scoring. Without the goalkeeper, there is no game.
