Defending the Circle - Being Ball Side!
This session looks at developing your players defending skills focusing on how to effectively limit the space for the shooters in the circle, remaining ball side to gain possession of the ball.

Slowly, the two attacking players pass the ball back and forth and the defender should move to the ball side of the spare attacking player to prevent the pass.
The feeder occassionaly feeds the ball to the far side of the spare attacking player i.e. When 1 has the ball, defence will be on blue 3's left and the ball will be fed to blue 3's right.
The defending player in this situation must try to make the interception.
For the defender:
Stay on your toes and keep watching the ball.
For the attackers:
Easy feed at the start so the defence succeeds then gradually make the attack more active.
