ReneOkay this answer is for women's lacrosse. Men's I'm not too sure about although I'm sure they have to be similar.
There are 12 players on the field for one team at a time including the goalie. There are four defense players, two low defense and two high defense. There are three midfielders, and four attack players (two high, two low). High and low refer to the position of the players when behind the restraining line. Some teams make one defender and one attacker, a "defensive wing" or "attacking wing". The theory behind this is that the wing player would act as a sort of midfielder. In reality all four defense and attack players must stay behind the restraining line, so no midfield for them. Although the position of wings in some cases refers to the player who would cross the restraining line should a midfielder not be able to.
Hope this helps!
Relize that Mens and Womens lacrosse are 2 different sports
Here is the answer for Mens Lacrosse
there are 4 main positions, and three specialty positions
10 Players from each team play at one time making a total of 20 players on the field
Main Positions
Goalie-One goalie on field at a time. most teams have 2 goalies one as a back-up
Defense-3 defenders help to protect the goalie and wield a 6 foot shaft. Guard opposing attackmen.
Midfield-3 people on field at one time. midfielders can traverse to both sides of the field. Alot of running required. Most teams have more Midfielders then the other positions as it is very tireing to play.
Attack- 3 people on field at time. Goalscorers. Stay on opposeing side of field where they can get in close to the goalies usally played by people with exellent shooting, dodgeing, and cradeling(stickhandeling) skills.
Specialty Positions
Long Stick Middie (LSM) - You are allowed to run 4 long poles at a time, so teams will typically sub a fourth on for an offensive midfielder during transition.
FOGO - This is short for "face off go off". These players take face offs after goals, or at the star of a quarter, and then get off the field as soon as their team has positions.
Defensive Middie - These are midfielders that sub on the fly, like the LSM, and do not play offense.
