Where can they go?
Centres are allowed to move in all 3 thirds except in both circles.
What do they do?
They restart the game each time after a goal.
They mark the opposition's Centre.
They need to be very agile and fit and they help in both attack and defence.
Centre's need to ensure they get the centre pass off quickly and accurately. Drive down the court on attack and pass into the circle accurately.
