I got to thinking... with all this Soccer mania and the basketball draft going on... that I can talk to someone who's had the pleasure of playing the same position I have played in soccer and we can talk about who's better at the same position in pro basketball, etc., and what I would have liked to play while in High school, college, or any other organized sport... I think we can do this for sports with specialty positions, but not with Tennis... I would have listed Tennis... What positions have you played in each sport? List in order of frequency: Soccer - goalie, midfielder, right defense Football - punter, quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback, free safety Basketball - shooting guard, small forward
Baseball - light hitting, good defensive 2B Basketball - I was a wing player that couldn't shoot much, played inside occasionally because that was my mindset, but I didn't really have the size Karate - I was the guy that kicked, and sometimes punched, but the one skill I could never learn....was the skill of love
golf - guy swinging clubs and hitting the ball football - tight end/defensive end basketball - center/forward baseball - SS, 2B, LF skateboarding - guy riding board (mostly on ramps) snowboarding - guy riding board down mountain wakeboarding - guy getting pulled behind boat on board croquet - guy swinging mallet and hitting balls/sending balls (with beer-in-hand) bmx/mountainbiking/cruising - guy riding bike i'm sure there's more... edit: surfing - guy riding board on relatively small waves
Football: flanker, SS; a little RB/H-back & CB Baseball: 3rd & LF; a little 2B & 1B Futbol: Sweeper & L/R mid; a little fullback Basketball: Wing
Why not tennis? In doubles, you have one who plays closer to the net to do most volleys and and another staying behind for baseline rallies.
You don't pick which stays back and who plays up front. It switches on every serve unless you are the one serving.
From HS on in organized sports or college intramurals... Football: OT/DT/C Basketball: 5 and sometimes 4 Soccer: Are you kidding me? I'm an American. From Texas. Softball: Pitcher/1B Wrestling: lightweight Heavyweight Volleyball: Forward Badminton: Badass Horseshoes: Champion Field: Shot Golf: Horrible
Listed in order of frequency: Basketball - shooting guard, small forward, post (high school doesn't really have PF/C), point guard Football - quarterback, strong safety, deep snapper, corner, wide receiver, halfback

Ultimate- Handler Football-Wide Reciever, Corner Back, Half Back, Quarter Back Basketball- Poing Guard Baseball- Short stop Board Sports (surfing, snowboarding, skating, wakeboarding)- guy shredding
Baseball- Centerfield Soccer- Center Midfield Rugby- Full Back Basketball- Center/ Forward Basically I'm in the center a lot...
Basketball: SG (I'm kinda short for it, but I have weak handles so I can't really play point) Football, or what you people call soccer : Right wing, centre midfield, and I occasionally drift to the left so I can cut in and shoot Yup, that's about all.. I'm no jock
Soccer - all (lately it's been mostly sweeper/stopper) Baseball/softball - all OF & 1B Football - WR/CB Basketball - guard
