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.
