Defending the throw:

Players line up in pairs facing each other with about 5 metres between them.

The attacking player dribbles towards the defending player. As they approach the defender they should make the move to throw the ball.

It is the defender's job to push the ball away as the attacker goes to throw, using the hand that is closest to the ball.

defence when attackers catch the ball/shoot/pass

Defensive stance:

As players run forward to defend they should think about their stance and approach:

They should take small, fast steps (never jump) to avoid over-committing. Approach diagonally, facing towards the ball, and angling their body to direct their opponent away from the goal area.

Keep their arms open, wide and high. Stand on the balls of their feet with knees slightly bent.
