Groups of 6 with a ball, 3 attackers, 3 defenders Two attackers set up as feeders lateral to one another, the other attacker down court Defenders set up in a triangle, one front to cover ball, other offset other side space and third offset to the 3rd attacker to âtemptâ in the feed Feeders pass to each other (2-4 passes) but always looking for the âopenâ feed to the back space, which that back defender can have a go at! Rotate after 3 intercepts around the positions Discuss: Where and when they could implement on court? Who makes the call?You could add in another atacker or a cone and the 3rd defender is marking a third party and judging when they could come off
Defenders have to be reasonably close - so their 'zones' touch so all passes are within reacging distance of at least one of them Feet under body, light steps, eyes up, ready to react Angled to use peripheral vision to read and lead and be aware of down court action Back defence has to be off-body to tempt in that pass, challenge themselves how far they can stand off
