How fast are soccer players?

Answer by  GoneWhaling (10)

Soccer is one of the most physically demanding sports out there so the players must be in peak physical condition. The players need to be fast in order to keep up with the ball and are always running back and forth as they often do quick sprints at a time.

Each individual player differs in speed obviously, but I would certainly compare them to your average baseball or basketball player.

They run about 10 miles a game with a lot of sudden accelerations, physical duals to possess the ball and sprints. I've played almost all sports including long distance running and soccer is by far the most demanding of them all. Being in top shape is an absolute must.
