Centre Backs – The central defenders.

Centre Circle – A circular marking with a 10-yard radius in the “centre” of the field from which kickoffs are taken to start or restart the game. Purpose: Simply a reference line for the referee and defenders. Defenders must be as least 10 yards away from the ball prior to start or restart.

Centre Mark – The “centre” of the centre circle from which kickoffs are taken to start or restart the game.

Corner Arc – An arc or quarter-circle with a radius of 1 yard located at each of the 4 corners of the soccer field. Purpose: Also a reference line, the ball must be kicked from inside this arc on a corner kick.

Corner Flag – The flag located at each of the 4 corners of the soccer field, inside the corner area.

Goal Line – The boundary line extending from corner to corner along its width at each end.

Forwards – Players who are responsible for most of a team's scoring. They play in front of the rest of their team (or in the attaching third of the field) where they can take most of the shots.

Field (or pitch) – The rectangular area where soccer matches are played.

Fullback (Left back and right back) – Outside defenders or wingbacks.

Goalkeeper – I bet you know this one. The player positioned directly in front of the goal who tries to prevent shots from crossing the goal line; the only player allowed to use their hands and arms, though only within the 18-yard penalty area.

Midfielders – Players generally positioned in the middle third of the field between the forwards and defenders. Their job is to link the defense and the offense through ball control and passing. They play both an attacking role and a defensive role.

Penalty Arc – The arc at the top of the penalty area. Purpose: Designates how far back all players must be away from the ball while a penalty kick is being taken.

Penalty Mark – The mark on the soccer field from which penalty kicks are taken.

Six-yard Box – The goal area.

18-yard Box – The larger rectangle (18 x 44 yards) in front of the goal that includes the six-yard area. Purpose: Marks both where the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball with his hands AND the area where fouls committed by the defending team result in penalty kicks.

Stopper – The player that defends or guards the best scorer on the attacking team, often the opposition's striker.

Touchline – The line that runs along the length of each side of the field. Commonly called the sideline in other sports.

Wingers – The outside forwards and midfielders who play on the sides of the field.
