Develop your team's defending skills with this session, by focusing on closing down the opposition, denying them space to launch attacks of their own!
Get your players thinking of how to force the error from their opponent, ensuring they have the correct stance to defend the ball, ready for them to take possession of the ball. Make sure that your players are defending as a team through the use of challenging exercises, such as High Ball Defence, building upon their communication skills. Every player - no matter what position they play in - must be able to attack and defend efficiently!
Don't let the opposition get away - defend as a tight unit and stop the attack!

The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
