Alright now we are just going to talk about some of the different positions on the field. This is how players set up in the very beginning when the players do a draw to start the game. You have both centers from each team to do the draw and set up around the circle you have both teams' left and right attack wings, and both teams' left and right defensive wings, and they set up on each other, if you can see, the left attack goes with the left defensive wing, and so on. And this is the offensive side for the red team if you can see, and you set up with third man who's kind of area is right here, they go above and below the restraining line. Third home, excuse me, and second home who always stays above the restraining line on offense. And first home who is really very close to the goal at all times, they are there to make the plays happen. And as far as defense goes, start back here on the black team because this is their goal that they are defending. You have their goalie, who is in there, the point who marks up on the first home and always stays above the restraining line as well as the cover point who marks up on the second home and stays above the restraining line. And the third man who goes above and below the restraining line marking up on third home when you are playing a man defense. And it is just opposite here because this is the red team's goal that they are defending, so they have their defensive players here and the black team has their offensive players. And as far as players' kind of areas that they are working with, the wings, the attack wings, when the red team, who is going toward this goal, their attack wings go above and below the restraining line. But it generally works out that you cannot because the center normally goes above the restraining line. It generally works out that you can only have one of your defensive wings go over the restraining line and so you just want to watch for that so that you do not go offsides. So you either decide in the beginning of the game who is always going to go over the line or you make a decision based on the situation on the field. And that is visa versa for the black team.
