Working hard on defence as a team will mean you spend more time in possession and frustrate the opposition into making mistakes when they do have the ball.
What's in the session?
This session looks at developing your players defending skills in particular focusing on zone defence to force an error or make an interception by applying maximum pressure in units.
Players will develop each of the skills and put it into practice against passive and active attackers through competitive situations. The session also aims to build upon your players current shadowing and body positioning skills throughout each practice.

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.
