1 v 1 - Actual Defending:

Two feeders stand in middle of the court, either side of the center circle.

The attacking player passes the ball out to the feeder and then runs out, looking for the return pass. The defender must react and look to push the attacker wide and/or intercept the ball.

Interception

Intercepting the Pass:

White 1 is defending and must try to be first to the pass from the feeder (blue 1).

Blue 2, the attacker, is not allowed to step in front of the defender but can move laterally to be in an open position to receive the pass from the feeder.

Repeat for 5 passes and then rotate players.

Interception

Jump Backwards - High Catch:

The player without the ball (the worker) drives forwards, taking approximately 5 steps before then rapidly running backwards towards one of the cones.

As they reach the cone the other player should feed a high pass for them to jump up and catch as they are moving backwards.

Repeat 5 times and then swap player's roles.

Interception

Diagonal Cut to Lead:

In turn the worker feeds the ball to the feeder and then drives to the spot.
The worker then changes direction and drives on to the fast and flat pass from the feeder.
Finally the worker passes to the next player in the opposite line who then passes to the feeder and repeats the exercise in opposite direction.
