i have a question when attacker turns his back towards you then what should a defender do ??i mean attacker coming at uh and then turn his back towards uh what should a defender do??anyone??

[@brycebenedetti9105]

Hii, so I'm going into highschool next year, I played first team for my primary school, but I'm not happy in the position I'm playing currently (RB) I'm a strong, fit, good at passing, strong shot/clearance and have good leadership, so what position do you think I should play next year?

[@Mel-mm4xk]

With your characteristics of being a good passer and especially good leadership, I think you would be great as a deep or high center mid. You'd be able to get the ball from the back and bring it up to the front for strikers or receive left and pass over to the right, as well as communicate with your teammates all around you. Being a mid you will also get some good opportunities to shoot if you have a good run up into the D. A center forward (striker) would also be good if you'd prefer to mainly shoot and stay up front, but sounds like you'd be the perfect midfield all-rounder.

[@shadonquiwin4402]

Hlo Lauren what do you thing what position is good for me I am good in skill and fast runer and can tackle is good but can't hit the ball very hard

[@Hockeyperformanceacademy]

Perhaps midfielder

[@rominac6407]

On my team I’m a foward but I don’t like the pressure of makeing goals I’m a fast runner so I was thinking of doing midfielder but Idk if I should give up that position as a foward (any ideas to help)

[@kitchen_kid54]

If your fast you would be good as a inner

[@rominac6407]

Caitlin Davis Thanks!!! My season ended I played as both depending on the game we had a really good season, it’s canceled now but thanks for replying!! 💓

[@lockiemcneven7219]

Maybe center that was you kinda just have to yeet it at the general area of the goal or too the people on posts

[@lockiemcneven7219]

I play centre . It’s fun but alot of running

[@aaliyahconrad2474]

dude i normally play defense but she wants me to be defensive mid and i remembered that i forget what they do

[@Mel-mm4xk]

Kind of like a sweeper, you get the ball from the back and usually pass it out wide along the sideline to your higher mids. And you should also be positioned just behind the high centre mid in case they need to pass back, and then again you can pass it down the field on the free side for strikers or mids. Baisically just keeping the ball out of your defensive quarter and passing it up the sides.

[@reghardtlubbe9691]

I wanna ask does it matter what hockey stick you have? Because all the players i know says a wood stick wont work.

[@Mel-mm4xk]

It really depends on your own preference, I usually go for a composite stick (grays or gryphon) because they are lighter to run with and have a nice hit. Some players like wood sticks more because they are heavier and have strong hits too. Doesn't really matter, just whatever you feel best using.

Not necessarily, it is also known as sweeper dude. Exists as position in ⚽️ as well. At least, my coach was a former pro so must be right 🤷
