wings, center, and defense wings, also known as midfielders, are counted on to
play equal parts offense and defense and they run the length of the field. The
point, cover point and thirdman, also called line defense, are defensive
specialists. They tend to stay behind the restraining line when the ball is on
offense. Must have one sub available or start a girl down.
