What is a tactic for defending a back line pass?

What is a tactic for defending a back line pass?

I am looking for a tactic for the attacking side to use in order to stop a ball travelling down the court

Hi Sophie,

You could try and set up a zone defence so that each attacker sticks to their zone, either in a diamond or square formation. Each player then has a zone to defend and if the ball enters their zone it is their job to defend them.
