A standard field lacrosse team has 10 players on the field at one time.

Quick Scoop

In men’s field lacrosse, each team fields 10 players at once: 1 goalie, 3 defenders, 3 midfielders, and 3 attackers.

Women’s field lacrosse is a bit different, with 12 players on the field per team, but most general math or trivia questions about “a lacrosse team on the field” are referring to the 10-player field lacrosse format.

So if the question is the classic textbook or quiz line, “A lacrosse team has a total of how many players on the field?” , the intended answer is 10.
