Soccer, also known as football in some countries, is a sport that has many different positions. There is the goalkeeper, who’s position is defensive. They are the only players who have the ability to grab the ball with their hands. There are the defenders, whose purpose is to help the goalkeeper and to help prevent the other team from scoring a goal. There are also the Centre-backs, full-backs, wingbacks, midfielders, and forward. Besides these several positions, who each contribute to the overall success of the game, there is the position of the winger. The winger is an attacking position who contributes to both offense and defense. For this position you need speed more so then you need strength. Though strength is not a required part of this position, it is important that when the ball is kicked by the winger, it is a powerful kick. It is important for wingers to know where the out of bounds lines are located because a lot of times they will be maneuvering so quickly, and so close to the lines, that if they are off by an inch it could cost their team the ball. These players are constantly running back and forth throughout the field and contribute a great deal to their team.
