Hi Reagan,
Here are some defensive tactics you can use to train your netball team:
- Zone Defense: This involves players covering specific areas of the court rather than marking a particular opponent. It can be effective in intercepting passes and forcing the attacking team to make errors.
- Man-to-Man Defense: Each player marks an opponent closely, aiming to block passes and shots. It's essential for players to maintain a good defensive stance with eyes up and arms out.
- Backline Pass Defense: Focus on positioning and anticipation to intercept backline passes. Encourage players to read the game and predict the opponent's next move.
- Defending the Shooter: Use a strong defensive stance to pressure the shooter. Positioning and timing are crucial to disrupt the shooter's rhythm.
