I’m 6’3, 155 lbs and starting lacrosse in the summer. What position do you think I should play. I can run pretty fast and I have endurance, but I’m pretty skinny. I would like to play attack or midfield, but just wondering what any of you guys think.
What position in lacrosse should I play?

Don’t be so posh and play football!
attackmen have to deal with the big defenders but if you have endurance and some stick skills you could handle midfield, sounds like you’d be better at midfield
It really depends on what you feel most comfortable playing. Attackmen have to have amazing ball control and can shoot pass and catch in their sleep. Midfield takes a lot of endurance and brute strenght for running up and down the field. Defense takes incredible stickwork, a lot of strength, and the ability to run up and down the field. The best thing you can do is try all positions and decide which one you like best. At the middle school-high school level you usually see the taller/bigger guys playing defense. Since you 6’3 you might want to give defense a second look. However some of the best midfielders i’ve played with are around 6’4 235 pounds. I’m a defenseman if it means anything to you
