i found this great (but a little boring) defense video. i am a goalie so i know a little about the defense. they must be big, scary and loud. loudness is a key part in defense. the girls need to know exactly who they have or else an open girl will get the ball and shoot. when your team plays woman to woman and even zone defense, they should not be past the 12 meter line (unless your coach tell you otherwise) so that when a girl comes in, they are ready and can double team her better. an exception to this is if your team is losing. when this happens you need to put pressure on the ball. if the girl panics, she is more likely to make a really bad pass and then your team can pick it up and go for the goal. if a girl comes inside of the 8 meter arc, you need to be stuck on her goal side and ready to intercept the ball if needed. if, by chance, the girl catches the ball, you need to be right in front of her(but not in shooting space) and call for help so that the team mates nearest to you can come and help double or triple team her. oh that's another thing, call for help if you need it! don't be headstrong like a lot of girls (including myself) are.
PLAY ON!
