you cannot start firstly unless you have players that are at the right conceptual level ,have great peripheral vision and they are able to communicate loudly on court . Start with the split ring defence . If your def can communicate here and succeed then you have a good base . The girls have to be able to visualise it . I think a video with a team performing it is a great idea or watch a team that is established at it . A white board and pen handy ! They have some great split ring drills on this site
