Speedy fast
facts about soccer:
World
Book. 2000 ed.
In soccer there
are 11 players on the field for each team. Also in soccer
the only player on the team that can use their hands is the
goalie; the other players can use anything from their elbows
down.
There is 1
goalkeeper (goalie) per team.
The goalkeeper
protects the goal so the other team doesn't
score.
There are 3
defenders out on the field per team. The defenders try to
take the ball from the other team and pass the ball to the
midfielders. The defenders really help the goalie.
The 3 midfielders
have a role in every play.
Sometimes the
middlefielder scores goals, but midfielders always should be
in position to help the defenders.
Lastly, the 3
forwards have the responsibility to score goals. They should
be able to pass well, dribble, run fast, keep the ball in
control and to shoot excellent (make a
goal).
