Team Defense

Last week we worked on Two Meter Defense - playing from behind and fronting two meters. For the next few weeks (June 16 to 28th) we will continue to work on two meter defense and also force on team defense.

Our #1 Defense will we Front and Lane. If the two meters is too good and we cannot continue to front or the team is able to move the ball around quickly with our press/lane defense we will to to our #2 Defense.

Our #2 Defense - Crash. Crash is when the 4 and 5 defenders help back at two meters as the ball in being passed into set. If the set moves to the middle or further to the right (strong side)side of the pool, this is too far for our 4/5 players to help back we will go to our #3 Defense.

Our #3 Defense - "M" - This defense looks like an "M" from our goalies view. The base is playing man to man - the 4 defender drops and position themselves in front of the set (about 2 strokes from the set) and the 3 and 2 defense now play in the gap between 2 and 3 and the other playing between 3 and 4.
