Type: Defense

Description:

Players start at baseline facing out of

court in defensive stance.

Players are playing against an

"imaginary opponent" initially.

They begin by defensive sliding two or

three steps then pretend they have been

beaten and move to a run (sprint) to

catch up, then return to defensive stance/

slide, then repeat to other end of court.

Variations:

1. Add an opponent with ball rather 

    than imaginary opponent.

2. Add an opponent moving without 

    ball (harder for defense).

3. Defender holds towel behind back 

    (concentrate on footwork).

Points of Emphasis:

1. Correct defensive footwork - stay low.

2. Sprint.

3. Effort.
