So im being forced to play attack...and it sucks!!!

[BCHSlax99]

Since we lost our 2nd best attack and needed someone to replace him with, since the other attack besides one need some work...Anyways im a starting middie and have the best outside shots/ ball handling on the mid lines...Anyways thats the reason (my ball handling) why i have to play attack now...Anyways i played attack at prac the other day and got shut down..PLaying attack sucks...oh well i guess have to get better at it...Anyways anyone got any helpful tips? Its such a different game now...BTW- anything similar happen to any of you guys?

I play attack and sometimes I have to play middie and I hate it. Way too much running. lol.

[BCHSlax99]

its just no fun...sitting there waiting for the ball...besides long poles suck arse...

[Mavido]

yea attack is where its at for those of us who are.. lazy.. but it does require a bit more tallent in the ball handeling area. Just put in the extra effort and think you team needs you dude.

next time theres a college game on watch a attackmen and watch how he plays that works really well

[BCHSlax99]

Thanks guys, yea i was just watching powell play...damn that finalizer is so nice....

I don't think I would dig attack.. middie is my favorite cause' there's variety. Good luck man.

i play both mid and attack. Id rather run alot then get hammered by a d pole all game. My ribs still hurt :(

if you can get the goals stay at attack. you dont win without goals. not in relation to you or anything, but if a midfielder has good stick skills and a nice shot but plays bad/average on defence, attack is a good position to fine tune your offensive skills. good luck man

it happened to me this year. i always play middie because im a pretty good with my defensive skills....but this year they moved me to attack. i have played attack b4 so its not a big deal, and i like attack better. playing attack is where all the glory is at. yea we take alot of beatings, but we score, and if ur good u score alot! any way, some tips for playing attack is to basiclly just get a variety of dodges and protect your stick! u sound like u can handle all the stick skills and stuf so i dont think ull have a problem. also when u need to get rid of the ball, look at "x"...on my team we always have som1 there as an outlet pass, i dont no if thats the same for u guys though. it might help if can tell me why u dont like it, like what do u neeed tips on? just playing attack in general?

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Long poles rock. Have fun.

[BCHSlax99]

thanks guys...im going to start devoting a lot of time attack and try to get my own style...

[fenwicklax89]

where i am there is no attack or mid. there is offense. you play both. but thats where i am.

[brlacrosse50]

nothing like that ever happened to me, but today me and the other attackers were performing to our best so coach threatened to bring down some middies.
i dont know if he really meant it tho

[Laxholic14]

If you think that you have a much better outside shot, and are "afraid" of the long poles, then i would suggest that you talk to your coach about maybe putting in an invert offense. That way you will be up top able to use you shooting, and if you set a pick for the middie coming down, your longpole will have to switch with the shorty and you will have your options overflowing from there
