The defender (green 1) attempts to intercept the ball as it is passed between 3 static players.
It's important that the three attacking players are not standing too far away from each other.
Focus on the defender.
Rotate the defending player regularly and get your defenders to think about their distance from players and the ball.
Encourage defenders to stand with a wide, low stance (ask them why they think this is?) and anticipate the direction of pass.

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.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
