Prevent the middle Pass:

Players work in groups of 5 - 3 passing players on the outside of the triangle, one attacking player in the middle and one defender who is marking the central player.

The defender has to prevent the attacker from getting free to receive a pass from the outside players.

Defence

Intercepting from behind:

Groups of three or fours one ball.
2 feeders and 2 defenders. feeders stand 4 to 6 metres apart defenders position themselves beside the feeders.
Player 1 and 2 pass the ball back and forth. White 1 must move to intercept the pass.
Progression:- Defence must move round feeders so eventually she is starting from behind her.

Interception

Marking player and intercepting:

Blue 1 and 2 passing to each other. No. 3 is dodging from side to side. White 1 defends. Feed can come in at any time to no. 3 and defence attempts intercept.

Interception

Gladiators:

This drill works best with the full squad (10+ players).

One feeder stands at the side of each third of the court (white in the diagram). These players are on the same side as the attacker (red 1 in the diagram).

There are 2 defenders in each third (blue in the diagram).

Using just half the width of the court, Red 1 has to work their way down the court receiving three passes from the player at the side of the court, in each third.
