Where can they go?
The goal defence can move any where in the circle defensive and middle third.
What do they do?
They contest the oppositions centre pass and track the Goal attack back into the circle.
They are trying to stop the other team from scoring and get the ball out of defence to the attacking third.
When a shooter is taking a shot they are to defend the shot with a 3 feet gap between them and the shooter.
Once the shooter takes the shot, they are to box the shooter out and turn their bodies to be ready for the rebound if the shot is not successful.

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.
