Front (Attacker)

Front players move into advanced bunkers positioned near the opponent’s side of the field. These bunkers provide access to close range angles and assist in establishing the early layout of a point. Because forward positions sit near contested areas, front players rely on acceleration, compact movement, and controlled transitions between bunkers.

Once established, forward positions affect how opponents allocate their attention. This influence may alter lane assignments, bunker selection, or how opponents distribute players across the field. The front role interacts with the early structure of the point by limiting space, shaping crossfield visibility, and presenting potential threats to multiple zones.

The position provides access to localized information about movement occurring near the front of the field. Front players pass this information backward, supporting decisions made by mid and back players. Their placement also requires managing narrow angles, timing advances, and recognizing changes in immediate surroundings.

Front players frequently operate in confined bunkers that require attention to spacing, exposure control, and timing. Their location near contested areas means they must balance forward movement with stabilization when necessary.

The front role requires the ability to analyze immediate options, evaluate when movement is viable, and maintain awareness within forward bunkers while coordinating with teammates positioned behind them.
