Having the correct technique, combined with fast footwork, timing and body angles, make going for interceptions more successful.
What?s in the Session?
The session begins with a fun warm-up encouraging players to find and penetrate space in order to essentially lose their defender. This will get your players thinking about their movement and body positioning in order to avoid being caught. The session develops to provide a series of drills focused on your player's footwork and timing of their movement. ?Intercept and covering? allows your players to take what they have learnt in the previous drills and to begin working as a unit, putting together the three stages of defence. The session concludes with a developing drill, putting your players in control so they can demonstrate what they have learnt.
It is important your players don?t simply work in isolation, for the greatest success, your players should work as a unit.

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.
