MidField

The midfield is an all around player. They take face-offs and they also play both sides of the field. The Midfield helps the attack out with their plays to help put a point up on the board. But when the opponent gets the ball they switch sides and help the defense get the ball back from them. This position requires a lot of agility, speed and endurance.

Attack

Attacks main purpose is to score points. They set up plays on the field and have to cooperate with the midfielders a lot. The attack can not pass the midfield line at any time. Unless there is a penalty can they can sub them for a middy. Once the attack man has the ball they can ether shoot or pass to another midfielder/attack.

Defense

The defense’s main goal is to get the ball from the opponents attack and pass it down the field so they can perform a play and score. They start out in a box called the restrain box. They cannot leave the box until one of the midfielders has possession of the ball. Then the ref calls release and then they can move wherever they please. They have a longer pole than all of the players on the field. They also cannot pass the midfield line unless they call middy back in which a midfielder stays behind the midfield line and the defense can take it down field.

Goalie

The goalies main job in the game is to defend the goal against the opponents attack and midfielders. He defends in front of a six by six foot goal. He stands inside a box which is called a crease and opponents attack or midfield cannot pass. The goalie has a bigger head so they can block any shots coming at them easier shot easier. They also have a slightly larger shaft than the attack and middies which also helps.
