In defence players need to be dominant, decisive and alert at all times in order to gain possession of the ball. They need to force the attacking play to the outside of the netball court to limit and deny space for the attackers.
What's in the session?
So this session looks at developing players defending capabilities with the focus on denying and limiting the space of the attackers to force errors through applying pressure on the ball and timing of drive to intercept the ball.
Each practice has progressions to stretch and challenge your more able players and conditions to aid your developing players to achieve the session goal.

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.
