What positions are on a lacrosse team?

Answer

Okay this answer is for women's lacrosse. Men's I'm not too sure about although I'm sure they have to be similar.

There are 12 players on the field for one team at a time including the goalie. There are four defense players, two low defense and two high defense. There are three midfielders, and four attack players (two high, two low). High and low refer to the position of the players when behind the restraining line. Some teams make one defender and one attacker, a "defensive wing" or "attacking wing". The theory behind this is that the wing player would act as a sort of midfielder. In reality all four defense and attack players must stay behind the restraining line, so no midfield for them. Although the position of wings in some cases refers to the player who would cross the restraining line should a midfielder not be able to.

Hope this helps!
