Simulating a centre pass, defenders will try to intercept the ball from behind/at the side of their attacking opponent using reverse hand interception.
Reverse hand interception - get defenders to keep hands at sides and only put hand in front of attacker momentarily in attempt to receive the ball. Tactics - GD and WD may wish to push the two attackers into the centre court channel (not shown in the diagram) or they may wish to push the attackers out to the outside channels (on diagram) depending on the decisions and competencies of their opponents. If attempt to intercept by reverse hand is unsuccessful, stage 2 or 3 defence would then be required to close down the next pass or space respectively.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
