At 4th grade and under, if you have middies that are both good and will pass the ball, and if you have attackmen that can catch and shoot, than you can light up the scoreboard. On my son's town team, the top athletes that could both run and had stick skills played middle. The more mediocre athletes who still could catch, cradle and shoot played attack. Kids who were none of this were hidden on defense, and supplemented by middies who were occasionally rotated back there. The key is to have a coach that stresses passing. A middle who runs through 4 kids and scores is a middle who is taken out and told to not do that again.
