There are more rules, but this is all you need to know.

If they had effing TOLD US THIS in second grade instead of going into "defense and offense plays" and assuming we all knew, I would not have have been confused until I was 15 and the lady gym teacher said "look. it works like this." and all the girls went "...oh. that's...stupidly easy."
