There are eleven players on the field at one time for both teams. |  |
|
| One of the eleven players is the goalkeeper. He or she tries to save the ball from going in the goal. They can use any part of their body. |  |
||
 |
Another category of positions is the forwards. They usually score all of the goals. They move into space to get the ball and in order to score, they have to dribble past defenders. The forwards that are positioned near the sideline are called. | ||
| Another category of positions is the midfield. They play both offense and defense. They work with the forwards to get the ball in scoring position. They also have to work with the defense to defend the goal. |  |
||
 |
The last category of positions is the fullbacks. They are the last line of defense in front of the goalie and they guard other teams players to try to force them to make a bad pass or dribble. They also try to keep opponents out of their teams goal area. | ||
