The actual positions will vary depending on individual team strategy, but a common arrangement is as follows: Goalkeeper, sweeper, defender, left midfielder, right midfielder, striker, left winger, and right winger.
There is no set rule on how many players must play each position on a U12 team. The only rules are that there must be a goalkeeper and a cretin number of players on the field.

I play U12 right now but I'm pretty sure that last year we played 8 on the field counting the gollie
Strictly speaking, there should be 11 players, including the goalkeeper. However, because the Laws of the Game permit leagues and competitions to play small-sided for younger players, there are usually 8 players per team, including the goalkeeper, on the smaller fields.

It depends, most places 11 a side however, a few leagues change this but not often.
No more than 11 per team. Different leagues will have different numbers based on the needs of the players. For example, a lot of recreational leagues will play with 8 per side to allow the players more touches on the ball. More in-game touches increases skill.

it matters with age 11 v 11 is how it is played at the professional level (i think) but it is less when it's u12 I belive it is 11 players (including goalie).
