DESCRIPTION

Balance of defence

PURPOSE: To introduce players to the concept and skills required for area (zone) defence.

ORGANISATION: Group of nine: five attackers, four defenders as shown in the diagram. Defenders each have their own area. Attackers move through from one area to the next in a given direction, retaining balanced spacing. On a signal change direction and positions. Attacker (BT) in the middle passes to any attacker and receives a return pass. Defenders move to intercept.

PROGRESSIONS: Nine defenders, in groups of three, each in one third of the court. Several groups of three attackers stand outside a goal line with a ball. Each group of attackers moves the ball through the whole court Defenders look to intercept passes. When any group of attackers has completed their court run or the ball has been intercepted, they become the next group of defenders.

COACHING POINTS:

Defenders constantly mobile, reducing view of clear spaces.
Head up, eyes alert, concentrating on the ball.
Stay off attacker until the ball is about to be released. Tempt the pass, then go for the interception.
Work together to close down angles and vision.
Watch each other and shift across to cover angles as the ball changes position.
