Positions

Teams are made of up to 14 players, with a maximum of six (some local rules allow seven) players on the field at any time with unlimited substitutions. Players are usually assigned the following positions:

Middle

Name of the position and players occupying the ‘middle’ of the field. Middles are the most consistent and fittest players in the team.

Link

Name of the position and players positioned between middles and wingers. They are the most deceptive runners and the best ball handlers.

Wings

Name of the position and players occupying the side part of the field. They are usually the fastest players in the team, as they have to cover a large part of the width of the field.
