Where can they go?
Centres are allowed to move in all 3 thirds except in both circles.
What do they do?
They restart the game each time after a goal.
They mark the opposition's Centre.
They need to be very agile and fit and they help in both attack and defence.
Centre's need to ensure they get the centre pass off quickly and accurately. Drive down the court on attack and pass into the circle accurately.
When on defence, hunt for intercepts, especially in the midcourt.

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.
