How do i defend a very tall large shooter who continues to get lob passes.
Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
Hi Vicki,
Holding shooters can always be a difficult task for any defenders, however there is simple way to overcome this!
I have attached a video explaining how to defend a holding shooter, essentially the best way to mark a holding shooter is to prevent her setting up in the first place. Get your defence to maintain a narrow foot base and quick feet in order to keep moving around your shooter. This will make the shooter keep having to move and try to re-set up in a different position, it will also mean the ball carrier cannot clearly see where the shooter wants the ball, preventing these lob passes.
A good way to practice this is with the drills I have selected below:
Moving round attacker
1 vs 2 Guarding Ball Side
Hope this helps.
