In groups of 4 working in small space (1/4 badminton court)
In the sketch, D2 is successful as the 3 passes are all taken without gain of space down the court.
Progression:
Team defence work can be encouraged by D2 calling to D1
(1) so that she knows how to angle her body for effective hands over ball marking
(2) calling for the drop if D2 has been effective in encouraging A2 up high enough that D1 has a chnace to drop and intercept
Defenders movement on and off the player to “encourage” the next movement
Recognising when not to over run the ball
Ensuring the job is done, and not dropping off the player too early which would allow them to cut through
Thinking ahead, positioning for the next move
Out of 10 passes, might only intercept 1, but recognise that forcing the short pass is a victory!
