Forwards and sometimes midfielders are responsible for putting the ball in the back of the net. They are the main goal scorers and can be game changers most of the time. Midfielders are the most important players and most athletic players on the field. They are the set up men, the scorers, and the defense. They are responsible for more than anyone on the field because they must stretch the field and set the forward up for goals, and then run back to get back on defense. Defenders are the last line between the goalie and the opposing team's forwards. They are normally the most aggressive players on the field because they cannot give up one on one's with the goalie. These players play two 45 minute halves with no timeouts except for half time. Each goal is worth 1 point and the team with the most goals at the end of the match wins.
