Area defense
Area defense is maybe the most difficult. In this type of defense several players
are involved in a co-operation, which demands co-operation, communication and
understanding of the game.
The defense must be able to foresee what the
attackers might do or are building up to do and take measures against their
intentions, for instance by following a running in or crossing player without
the defense gets cramped, but is still maintaining a secure width in the defense.
