Can you please tell what and how should a defender practice?
Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago
Hi Rutvik,
There are similar drills for defenders that you can do. If you look at the Training Drills download and then adapt that for defence. For example instead of doing the FH FH footwork with a counterhit you can do it with a chop.
We also have a lesson on Defensive Footwork which will help you.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
