Where can they go?
The wing defence can move in the defensive and centre third but is not allowed to enter the circle.
What do they do?
They defend the oppositions Wing attack. Contesting the centre pass and forcing the WA out wide.
Defend the WA when they have the ball ensuring they are 3 feet away. Applting pressure to the aatacking team to get a turnover.
Main focue is to stop the opposition WA getting onto the circle edge and into a good position to feed the shooters.

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.
