Just for fun, please indicate what position you mainly play and if you can reasons why you like to play it.

Usual position is keeper, though I do have a 100% scoring record this season when playing CF ;D

I'll play any position I'm asked to play but in goals.My attitude has been influenced by my coaching experience.
I get equally excited about attacking and defending.Love,love pressing and winning the ball back.

I had a really talented kid.He plays Centre Forward at school but in the one regional practice match,we started with him at left wing.His body language changed when we announced it.He played like a headless chicken for 6min,when i took him off.First thing he said was,"Why am I playing left wing?". I explained to him there are two types of players:

1.This player only wants to play the position he likes.Individual satisfaction
2. This player will play where asked ,as he understands the team comes first.Team orientated player.

I told him we only have room for player 2 only.I then asked him,"which one are you?"
He said he is player 2.I then explained the tactical reason for looking at him on the left wing.
He understood,'problem'solved.

i started playing in cf but accidentally found my home on the right wing when we needed to strenghten our midfield. i played the first half of the game and umpired the second half, during my first half on the wing i scored a goal and provided the passes for the other 3 goals in the half. we went on to win 8-1.  ;D
i can play all over the pitch however and i love it, if asked i will also play in goal as well as i love the power of organizing the defence! hehe  :D :D :D

I have never played anything aside from goal.  I don't really even know how to hit the ball.  Don't tell.

Umpire first. Playing anywhere but in goal is next.  ;D

Well, more inclined to half or inside positions. So, I can run and sprint the extra mile to add to my umpiring fitness regime.

I found it useful as part of my umpiring homework. Looking at things at various angles from a player's point of view.

Another goalkeeper!!

Can play outfield but would rather play with padding. Why would you want to stand in the D with people drag-flicking and shooting at around 70-100mph without protection.............and everyone else calls goalies stupid!!   Wink

If I was still playing I would be a GK. Maybe I will get another chance to start playing this year. Though it does feel good to score goals. I hate being a defender! (other than gk)

Just sorted that one out now its 50/50 with my vote.

I had to select other as i play all over the park, but i think team captains decided not to give me a fixed position as i usually wonder around doing whatever i want which isnt always the best but they always wanted someone who would give 200% n could add some flair to the game so i never really found a proper position just one i made up.

zippytime, I just added a new selection GK & Umpire. I was in the same boat as you when I was a junior, played every position, but as I got older I found the net more fun.
