Can you please tell what and how should a defender practice?
Alois Rosario Answered 11 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.

#30 - Flick and Long Fast Push
By throwing in some unexpected long returns you will keep your opponent off balance and this will make each short push you do so much more effective. That's why it's important to be able to return long. You've got 2 options. You can flick the ball or push it long and fast. This week our focus is on these types of returns.
