I understand a little better what you want to do. Having coaches fill out the fields accurately is a challenge.
Maybe someone will correct me on this, but I think you're better off sticking with CCK fields, rather than taxonomy.
If you want to offer convenience to the person filling out the node fields, then check out Textfield Autocomplete Module. I haven't tried it, because I think it was only recently released, but it looks like it will do what you want to do.

So if this is a sports team site, you might be interested in checking out the sports site I built recently. It doesn't have individual player information, but it involves a lot of teams. I haven't built out the content as completely as I intend, but it may give you some ideas.

Thanks for the response Jim. Like I said I'm new, but I most of the information that will get entered will be the same so figured it might as well go in to taxonomy so that the coaches can easily see how many players on their team shoot left handed or weigh 150lbs. I can see all the terms printed out on the bottom of the node and want exactly the same just formatted to show the vocab name but not necessarily from the db i will probably hard code those.
<p> Hometown: term name<br /> Favourite Movie: term name<br /> </p>
Is this way to complicated to do? Should I have just created fields for the template instead? I just wanted to use freetagging so that the common data will pop up as they start to type new entries and hopefully eliminate spelling errors.
What do you think?

The first question I have to ask (unless I misunderstand what you're saying) is why are you using taxonomy terms for the fields of each item in your node type? That seems like a good way to complicate your theming.

I have a bio for some players with: Number Height Weight Hometown I created a vocabulary for each of these items and then set them to free tagging to enter the terms. Now I would like to output the term of each vocabulary next to the vocabulary name eg (Hometown: Term Name) but I'm a newbie to php and even more of a newb to drupal development. Any help would be great. Thank you, -- Chris McCreery
