What is an ''outside halfback'' in soccer?

Question

i just started playing soccer for a team, and i've never played for a team before. i not bad and not great but i'm getting better!:) well, my coach is putting me on different positions on the soccer field and he puts me as ''outside halfback'' most of the time...so i just want to know, what is an outside halfback, what does it take to play this position,what do you have to do, what are some tips to practice to get better on your own? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

outside halfback= outside defender

obviously you have to be good at defending. usually the outside backs are the fastest defenders so work on your speed. obviously you run a lot in soccer so doing  conditioning will really improve your game. im not sure what level your playing at but once you get to higher levels, the outside backs are used in an attacking roll. If you get a chance watch a manchester united game and watch their outside backs, especially patrice evra. the kid is always going forward into the attack. good luck  

Answer 2

An outside halfback is pretty much what is sounds like but with a great responsability your job is to nerow the space of you opposing attacker by getting the ball out of play to the sidelines or not let him cross or shoot the ball you need to have alot of speed and edurance and work on defensive skills as well

Answer 3

A full back.

Thats your defence.

The 2 dots on the outside are fullback, also known as right back and left back. A full back defends the wings, and supports the player in front of them. You push up when attacking.
