All players need to be able to attack and defend regardless of their position. Defenders need to be able to create and penetrate space once they have turned the ball over and attackers need to be able to defend effectively if they lose possession.
What's in the session?
This session works on players defending skills including speed, agility and decision making skills through passive and competitive situations with progressions to stretch and challenge your more able players and conditions to support your developing players.
Players will learn the importance of body position to deny and limit space for the opposition. Also these drills will encourage increasing the defending pressure as a team to increase turnovers.

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.
