In this session, we build upon your player?s current defensive skills, ranging from limiting space for the opposition, to forcing errors by applying pressure. To help your team close out their opponents, get them to cut out options for the ball carrier, and being prepared to take possession of the ball for an attack of their own.
What?s in the session?
With plenty of fun but challenging exercises, help your players to communicate together in defence, and improving their anticipation skills so they are able to ready when to intercept the ball. Build their understanding of zone defence and when this can be effectively used in a game, decreasing the opponent?s chances on goal.
Work on the different parts of defending, including speed, agility and decision making, so you can limit the options for the opponent in possession. Don?t miss a trick with this session!

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.
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.
