Can you please tell what and how should a defender practice?

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.

Listen to Alois talk about his training focusing on the crossover point and the excellent results he achieved. As a student of the game it is important that you think about the crossover point and spend some time practicing hitting the ball there.
