The answer is 9! = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 362880.
The reasoning is as follows:
First spot: Any one of nine players can be put here.
Second spot: Since there is already one player in the first spot, that means they can't be in the second spot, so one of eight players can be put here.
Third spot: Since there is already one player in the first and second spot, that means they can't be in the third spot, so one of eight players can be put here.
The same reasoning goes all the way down to the ninth spot where there is only one person left.
