Do you have any good drills to help prevent contact?
If you're meaning e.g. a circle defence defending a shooter who is driving along the back line with a feeder with the ball on the circle edge? Ensure that the defence stays up with the shooter but brings her outside arm (the one not next to the shooter) around to bat the ball down and gather. In other words she closes her body around the front of the shooter so that she isn't an option for a pass. Defences must show umpires that there is no contact, otherwise they will presume there is when both defence and shooter are striving front on for a ball. This would be the case if the defence drives to the edge of the circle with the shooter and put out both hands to intercept across the shooters body. They would be pulled up for contact. I hope this helps you.
in more ways than one
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.
