What's in the Session?
To improve your players' understanding of 'zone defence', and how this can be effectively applied during a game, we start with a defensive game of Steal Ball.

To put your defender's teamwork to the test we finish with a 3 channel conditioned half-court game - it's attack v defence, who will come out on top?
