Soccer players?

[TheQuietGirl]

Any soccer players on here?

What position to do you play? How long have you played?
I need some soccer people to chat with I've been out of the game for about a year (just had bone surgery on my knee for a soccer accident I had 4 years ago). But I've been playing since I was 4 and am hoping to play professionally

Woo!! yes I'm a soccer player.
I play a lot of positions but mostly offensive mid-mid or defensive mid-mid, I can also play shadow. If you don't know what shadow is its where they out you on there best played and you play man to man defense in them, then when they sub out you drop back to normal position (best thing ever lol)
I've played since I was 4-5 can't member. I stopped in 3rd grade and then came back in 4th and am still playing today.

Ohhh that's really interesting! I've heard of shadow before, but I don't think I've played it more than once since I was like, 7 or something. I made it clear to my coach I belonged in the goal.

Mid-field (I think that's what you mean by mid-mid?) is so much fun! And running.. So much running, LOL.

[SleepingSickness]

Lol yeah our coach calls it mid-mid but yes, middle midfield is the technical name
I used to play goalie up until 3rd grade (when I took a year off) then they decided I needed to play defense, then in 7th grade I played offense and shadow lol. 8th grade I started either offensive mid-mid or defensive mid-mid.
Goalie was a fun position but I couldn't punt to save my life
And yeah I run on average 7 miles a game...but it's fun

Oh wow! Mine was the opposite! I used to play defence all of the time, until I was forced in goal, and then I fell in love with it :P Now if we're ahead, he forces me to left wing.
Lol yeah, punting is a tough thing! My nerves get super jumpy, so I mess up the punts sometimes, which just stinks!!
It definitely is fun. I'm not the kind who can just jog around the whole game. You get fast sprints out of me, which is usually all I need if I'm on the field or in goal.. thank garsh!

[SleepingSickness]

Haha, yeah my friends think I'm insane because as soon as the ball is in okay I'm sprinting all over the place trying to get it
I scare the crap out of other girls because I would come charging at them and last minute would cut, it made them have to make quick decissions so it worked.
I have a lot of respect for goalies, what y'all do isn't as easy as people think it is. Lots of pressure

Imma redneck but I played footy.
13 years of it, forward and center. Y'all are lucky I ran about 10-15 miles per game. Was always played durin our meets. Maybe cause I hardly played ever lol cause of rodeo xD
