Attack or mid-field ?????

[laxjester]

im in 8th grade currently and have been playing lacrosse for 2 years now. this year i am going to be entering high school and playing for the school team. The 2 years i have played i have been a midfield but i am not sure if i should play attack or midfield in high school. I need your opinions ideas and expirences. Thanks

welll..... how fast are you??? if you are fast than u should play middie.... if you are small but have quick hands, play attack

all in all whatever you enjoy most thats whta you should play


btw... this is just what coaches in mississauga look for

This year is my firts year high school (g10), and I'm playing middie, got mvp player, :D, but if you've got speed power and strength and endurance, go for middie.

Middie because you are already familiar with it...

A good idea may be to ask your coach where the weakest part of your team is. tell him your predicament, and say that you want what is best for the team. If he says the team is weak on middies, go middie. If he says its weak on attack, go attack. Either one, you are doing what is good for the team, and your coach will like that.

im in 11th, and i have been playin in highschool for 3 yrs. i play center middy. when i play i play for fun, and ive played all positions and it seem to me that attack and defence stand around alot. i like to be both a scorer and a goal stopper. if you work on your stamina and stick skill you would be a killer middy. im 5,4 and 130, and i can still put it in the net once and again. but mostly play what you wanna play, when you have fun you play better. i love play middy and goalie, they are the 2 best positions!!! hope that helps...

You sound like my lacrosse twin...

I agree with alot of these points, but the only thing I regret about playing mid is I don't get to put up as many goals as attackmen. So in the long run, if you're in lacrosse for the girls (or lack of) then play attack, if you're in it for the love of the game, play whatever you're best at.

mid its fun but attack is also kewl too so...idn really no but i play mid so.. ya

[JtowneMiddie21]

How much do you like to run?

[MaddxLax]

you dont need to be small to play attack...im a little over 5'10" and 150lbs....im quick, and im not intimidated by huge defensive players, but u should stick with middie unless u hate it

[lax17man]

it really depends on the team, my team has lk no middies so we need a bunch but attack is good if ur team needs that, it really depends on what the team.

Good Call.

Switching positions, in my opinion, can be rough. Stick with what you're familiar with, unless you really want to change.

yes you should play the position in which you are most comfortable with. But you should also play the position in which your skills compliment your position.

Mid is fun, Attack is cool but the meat-head long polls and not getting to crush people is why i'am a mid.
