This depends on what level of cross country you are doing. In elementary to junior high, you don't need to be fast at all. In high school it depends on what you define as "fast" but you don't have to be that fast. I'm a sophomore in cross country and there are some people running 2 miles in 20 minutes. But they try their best and don't give up which is key. If you are slow AND you're lazy and don't try then don't do XC but if you try you'll get faster and everyone will support you. Most high school cross country teams don't cut anyone off, if you put in the time and effort you can be on the team. Now if you're thinking about club, then it depends on the club, but most of the time you won't need to be fast they have different divisions and races so you'll be fine. Just try your best :)
no but there are rumors of a Brazilian soccer player running it in 3.8
There is no speed of soccer. In soccer the only speed is how fast you run.
Soccer. Way more running.

Soccer Players. The field is much larger, and endurance is a much larger factor in soccer. Soccer games are also MUCH longer than basketball games, no matter what level you're playing in. Also, there are only 3 substitutions allowed the whole soccer match as opposed to unlimited in basketball. Basketball players run an average of 5 miles per game while soccer players run 7 miles per game.
Players wear helmets when playing American soccer.
I do participate in soccer because it is a fun exhilarating sport where you get to show off how fast you can run towards the goal and weave in and out of the other players line. It is also a great feeling hitting the soccer ball just right and watching it sail into the goal.
Yes they can, but they need to do it fast
run fast and learn how to tackle without your shoulders and elbows. use your body to control the other players. never use your elbows or shoulders.
Muscular strength makes it better for a soccer player to run and kick.
