Question

What is the other one?

Answer 1

In water polo,offense teams consist of 7 players including the goalie. 5 of the positions are called "drivers" and the sixth position is the "hole-set". This position can also be called the center forward, hole, hole-man, or 2-meter man.

Hole-set: An offensive player who positions himself directly in front of the opponent’s goal to run the offense. Teammates pass the ball to the hole-set, who attempts to shoot it or pass it to an open teammate. Also called the center forward, hole, hole-man,

or 2-meter man.

Driver: Field players who constantly rotate around the perimeter of the offense to find scoring opportunities. A driver is not assigned to one position; rather, he rotates through the following three positions: point, positioned at the tip of the offense farthest from the opponents goal; flat, positioned about 7 meters from the goal line; and wings, positioned near the 2-meter line. Most driving occurs from the point and flat positions; the wings rotate up to the flat as teammates drive their direction.

On defense, the positions are:

Goalie: Defensive player who guards the goal by blocking the opponent’s shots. The goalie is the only player who can touch the ball with two hands at once. Also called goalkeeper.

Hole guard: A defensive player who guards the hole-set. The hole-guard’s main objective is to prevent the hole-set from scoring, often by purposely committing ordinary fouls. Also called center back.
