Overball is a field sport, with elements of earthly soccer, rugby, and volleyball. The game is named so because the ball, called the overball, remains in play only while it is in the air. Movement stops when the ball touches the ground.
Players
There are ten players on a side.
Backfield
- Defender
- Leftback
- Rightback
The defender and the two backs are mostly on the backfield to defend against any sudden deep penetration of their home shade.
Midfield
- Center
- Left Midrider
- Right Midrider
The Center is traditionally the most versatile player on the field, as he can cover all the surrounding positions. The two midriders are also similarly veratile, able to play both back and front fields, though they are often large in size to enable strong hits all along the midfield.
Frontfield
- Left Forward
- Right Forward
- Left Breaker
- Right Breaker
The forwards are usually the fastest and most agile players on the team, second to the backs. They are the ones most likely to score. The breakers are typically some of the largest players. Their job is to wreak havoc on the others team from the flank side. They also provide solid blocking for the forwards.
The initial positioning on the field upon "pip-off" has the players from each side lined up as in the diagram. During the rest of the game, players can take whatever positioning they want, barring any limitations (dead ball buffer).
