 Each team is allowed seven players on the court . Each player is assigned a specific position , which limits their movement to a certain area of the court . A " bib " worn by each player contains a two @-@ letter abbreviation indicating this position . Only two positions are permitted in the attacking shooting circle , and can therefore shoot for a goal . Similarly , only two positions are permitted in the defensive shooting circle ; they try to prevent the opposition from shooting goals . Other players are restricted to two thirds of the court , with the exception of the Centre , who may move anywhere on the court except for a shooting circle .
