Details
The home bunker is positioned at the rear center of the field and functions as the starting point for many backline roles. From this location, players have a clear view of the field’s symmetry, enabling early communication and monitoring of breakout routes.
During the start of a point, home bunkers are often used to establish initial shooting lanes. Because of their central placement, home positions can influence both tape side and mid field pathways, contributing to early structural stability.
Once initial activity settles, players commonly rotate out of the home bunker to move toward more specialized positions. Home is typically a temporary structure used to support the opening moments of a point rather than a long term holding location.
Its placement and balanced angles make the home bunker a consistent element across modern speedball layouts. It provides a reference point for orientation, aids communication across the field, and supports the early game development of structure and spacing.
