1. Defender and Attacker start back-to-back.
2. Attacker is attempting to work ball inside between red/orange cones
3. Recovering D works to keep A outside and form double or tack back and support teammate
4. Low defender MUST COMMUNICATE (stay on her outside, bring her outside, mine, step up, double, now, etc. Low defender should immediately work to get & keep A on her forehand.
DEFENSIVE GOALS FOR RECOVERING DEFENDER
1. Body positioning - keep attack outside (contained to sideline)
2. Awareness & Communication - Can I keep up? Do I need to call my teammate on to take her?
--------------------------------------
3. (If staying on) Slow down Attacker and force her eyes down by using a fake jab)
4. (If staying on) Get strong and work to keep her eyes down and put pressure on - MAINTAIN ENGAGING DISTANCE!
5. Once we get the ball, use cuts and passes to transition out other side of grid
---------------------------------------
3. (If tackling back) Sprint TO TAKE AWAY DANGEROUS SPACE.
4. COMMUNICATE (stay on her outside, bring her outside, mine, step up, double, now, etc.) & look for opportunity to double.
