In soccer, there are 11 people on each team, which adds up to 22 people in total playing on a field that measures approximately 110 yards long by 70 yards wide. In order to avoid congestion, there are positions which are in charge of a general area of the field to cover. Each position has a fairly specific job to do in order that the team as a whole can play well and win.

There are four basic positions in soccer:
forward, halfback/midfielder, fullback/defender and goalkeeper.
