I was playing soccer in high school and didn’t really understand the positions in soccer now I’m off to college and planning to play in college too! Thanks for making me better understand the game! ❤️❤️❤️🔥⚽️
This is my first time playing soccer in years and ive never been able to understand the positions this year im playing for my middle school this helped me understand the basics of the positions thank you so much ❤️
I am brazilian, but never been too much into soccer! actually i have forgotten about it and focused and learned other sports, mostly american ones, as basketball, baseball, volleyball, even football, but now i would like to try soccer for real! i gave up of soccer when younger, i learned many other different sports, and now soccer became a different option for me! xD and that's the first time i see an explanation of the positions, i learned a lot of things i didnt know before! thank u man!
It’s funny because similar thing is happening to me when I was younger I played soccer too up into junior high then gave it up and got into other sports like basketball & football mainly basketball but now I’m slowly regaining my interest in soccer!!
This helped me so much bc in my team I always used to believe I was a winger but when my coach put Me out of my comfort zone as a number 10 I loved the role (and got more goals) however I was so confused whether I wanted to be a CAM or a winger! Now thanks to this video I am happier with my decision as embracing playing as a 10 and I understand the game so much more
33 year old mom here who has never played soccer once, not even in fun. Signed up to coach U12 soccer since they were short 🥴 gonna be watching a lot of this stuff. Thank God I’m assistant coach
I've been really finding myself falling in love with the game and it only took me freakin' 35 years to do so lol. Thanks you so much for your info and wonderfully clear explanations. You're the best.
Thabk you for the vid. I would've loved if you included some abbreviations for the positions, as those are the ones we see on tv and games. And also knowing the best examples for each position wouldve been nice too. Good worl gho
Just now starting on playing soccer because my school's team is in desperate need of players. Never was a huge fan of this sport, but I hope I'll learn to love it. It's probably a good thing that I know what I'm doing if I'm gonna be playing on the team.
Playing cb or dmf was fun for me at least in middle school cause more often than not, kids dont know how to dribble that well so it would always be an easy steal and easy pass to my wingers.
I played futsal (5v5 soccer/football) originally, now I’m trying to play 11v11 in high school. What would I play if I’m pretty fast, okay passing, bad shot, and good defense?
@@user-xh4xg1jf8cIf I were you, improve in either long passing or scoring. Your speed is going to help you if you are also at least on par on those two skills.
I like your videos and I subscribed. But I think you should say football instead of soccer (I know people call it soccer in the States…maybe it’s just a silly thing for me to say).
@@Emily__vm I was just trying to show their average positioning during a game. If I included both sets of 11 players, I would've put 1 team on 1 half, and 1 team on the other. I guess I didn't want to use only half of my screen for the graphic
You should not mention backs as full backs. A back is the guy who would defend on their side of the pitch. A full back is a back that also helps in the attacking side of his squad, usually with overlap movements.
I'm sure it exists, but I've never seen a professional team begin a game in a 3-3-4. That's more of a formation a team will switch to in the last few minutes if they're down a goal and need to push numbers forward
For 8-9 year olds: Can and should the midfielder or the defenders be allowed to cross the center field line? Is it the forwards and midfielders or..? Help!
Of course there's no set laws for where you can and can't go, but for kids learning the game, it's probably a good idea to tell them defenders shouldn't cross midfield. Midfielders, on the other hand, should be able to run anywhere on the field. And then Forwards should stay in the attacking half of the field
If you are in the starting 11, somewhere in the defensive half of your field. In practice you may start by being substituted into a match for a purpose but in the long run, grow your stamina.
@@Ktsquare2008 I usually pace myself but can make pretty quick sprints from outta now where usually for around a minute before needing a breather. Now I’m a defensive mid, and I’m currently working on stamina
@@Gamer7906uMidfielders are mostly good at stamina so if your start a match on the bench your coach could substitute you in to play defensive midfield or defense for ADDING ONE MORE TEAMMATE TO ATTACK. Like a 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 or 3-4-3.
The most saddest part is no one plays this game on my town and the most worst part is there are no football field too i practice on our backyard its not that wide but i can play well just bought a soccer ball yesterday and its different when i use my sisters rubber ball 😂😂😂
Stopper is basically another term for a centerback, or someone who plays just in front of the CB's. Whereas a sweeper always plays behind the CB's and is the last line of defense!
@@davidb7212 i didn’t get in💀I asked the coach from a level of 1-10 how much do I suck and he said 2 so I not upset about it.iv never ever played soccer in my life and I wouldn’t have time for it either seeing as I’m concentrating on my music and art so I’m fine with it:)

Perfect description and thanks for not playing annoying back round music !
I’ve seen a few other videos explaining soccer positions and formations, but yours makes the most sense. The others mostly go over my head.

This is my first year actually watching soccer and i like it and i even play on free time i know alot so far never go into the positions
thx i was confused because we played a match with other sections and some players ar at the other side and me and some players are attacking
Nice one!

I’m watching this video because I’m embarrassed that I don’t know that much about football and my friends laugh at me
We all gotta start somewhere!
*The only thing you missed is probably fly goalkeepers but overall it was very well explained*
"ignore the goalkeeper" Justice for goalkeepers😂
This is my first year actually playing soccer and I’m basically starting from from ground zero and I’m always confused when I get subbed in
Enjoy your time on the field. Play. Let the position come to you.
do the positions change depending on the formation?
Yes, they can change slightly
@@snowmansportsmedia okay, tysm :)
For a football lover, this video is so useful.
I appreciate it!
Are you really a “football lover” if you don’t even know the position?

I played futsal (5v5 soccer/football) originally, now I’m trying to play 11v11 in high school. What would I play if I’m pretty fast, okay passing, bad shot, and good defense?
Maybe a right or left back?
@@snowmansportsmedia that was my first thought but I see fullbacks do long passes a lot and I’m terrible at those, I guess I should just get better

Historically seen 4-3-3 changed into 4-4-2. So you cannot say, that 4-4-2 moved to 4-3-3, it's more the other way around.
Does this mean that if you are on one side of the pitch you go across to the whole other side on the other teams side to start?
No, at the start you must be on your own half
@@snowmansportsmedia oh then why does it show people on the other side sorry I’m just a little confused
@@Emily__vm I was just trying to show their average positioning during a game. If I included both sets of 11 players, I would've put 1 team on 1 half, and 1 team on the other. I guess I didn't want to use only half of my screen for the graphic
@@snowmansportsmedia ohh thankyou
You should not mention backs as full backs. A back is the guy who would defend on their side of the pitch. A full back is a back that also helps in the attacking side of his squad, usually with overlap movements.
Is there a thing such as 3 3 4
I'm sure it exists, but I've never seen a professional team begin a game in a 3-3-4. That's more of a formation a team will switch to in the last few minutes if they're down a goal and need to push numbers forward
U forgot to Masson goalkeeper can soccr goals sometime it rare tho

im number 2 and a lw
4-3-2-1 was used in NASA and SPACEX. #justsaying
Lol
4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 is the new winning plan !
So if I am great at defense but with not to much stamina, so what should I be? ( excluding goal keeper)
If you are in the starting 11, somewhere in the defensive half of your field. In practice you may start by being substituted into a match for a purpose but in the long run, grow your stamina.
Are you physically strong but run usually slowly and if you run in long sprint, will you become tired quickly?
@@Ktsquare2008 I usually pace myself but can make pretty quick sprints from outta now where usually for around a minute before needing a breather. Now I’m a defensive mid, and I’m currently working on stamina
@@Ktsquare2008 I’m not too strong but I can still make good tackles and such

My uncle always says he plays “STOPPER”. To this day I have no idea what that position is.
It's more of a playing style in the defensive positions. They basically don't care about fouling and would trip you to get the ball.
A stopper is a player that is marking the opponent No.10. It's an outdated position, because most teams defend in a zone.
Think a CDM but more defensive
Im here cuz my friend told me to get good
I come here so that i won't left out in my friend group which all are soccer fanatics
Who else is here because Aoi has to be a defender now?😔
Lol. He's a beast because he can control and influence the game even without him scoring.

i still dont get it and im going to a club soon
I play 5-3-2 or 3-5-2
