Positions

Goalie
The goalie is the most important player. He is the final line of defense, standing directly in front of the net. Since he has a lot of area to cover and the ball is so small and hard to see, a common save percentage is about 50%. A common points per shot is 1.5-1.75.

Defenders
In base formation, there are 3 defenders on the field. Their job is to intercept passes and block shots before the opponent can get a shot on the goalie. They do not generate much offense, but sometimes are important in keeping the ball on the attacking side.

Midfielders
Midfielders are responsible for bringing the ball up and often are the best long shooters on the team. Also key to stopping the other team bring the ball to the attack.

Passer
The Passer is often the captain of the team. He is the middleman in most passes, and is key to baffling the defense. He also guards the opponent's shooter in base defense.

Wings
The wings manage one side of the court each, favoring that side. They are attackers and take a lot of shots.

Shooter
The shooter is a key offensive player (guarding the passer on defense). The shooter takes all penalty shots, and is skilled from the center of the court. He is very good at aim and shot speed.

Other Formations
These positions are only in the base 3-3-3 formation, with Center Midfielder and Center Forward being Passer and shooter, respectively. The majority of national teams use other formations, favoring, offense, defense, or built around one star player.
