Looking for a little guidance on ArrayLists

So I've had some classes in Java and I'm working on some of my own code. While playing around with ArrayLists I can't help feeling like I'm doing something wrong. It seems there should be a way to condense the following code to be more efficient. Initially all of the ArrayLists will be empty, but then my code will pull players from a list in a simple .txt file using a scanner object.

Java Code:

ArrayList <String> centers     = new ArrayList <String>();
ArrayList <String> forwards    = new ArrayList <String>();
ArrayList <String> goalies     = new ArrayList <String>();
ArrayList <String> right wings = new ArrayList <String>();
ArrayList <String> left wings  = new ArrayList <String>();
ArrayList <String> coaches     = new ArrayList <String>();
ArrayList <String> emptyset    = new ArrayList <String>();

Is it possible to declare the ArrayLists in a single statement as can be done with int objects? For example,

Java Code:

int x, y, z = 0;
