Here I\u2019m just going to outline a particular way of coaching defence \u2013 use as you will.<\/p>\n<p>While Front defence is the standard and default defence, it can at times be very useful to play some Rebound as well. Some teams can\u2019t cope with it at all (it\u2019s impossible to play against without Walking the Block), and for some, playing it will disrupt their attack.<\/p>\n<p>If you play Rebound though, it\u2019s important to be able to switch immediately on court back to Front, if the attack manage to get a collect in, and this is how I did it, with a story (Explanations in brackets):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cI have these two girls, yes I\u2019m a player, after me \u2013 Rebecca and Freya (Rebound and Front defence, respectively\u2026).<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Freya\u2019s amazing. I love her. I\u2019ll let her in as close to my heart (the post) as she wants (Front D lets the attack in to the post\/collect). But, I want to make sure no-one else can get in and steal her away from me, so I won\u2019t let anyone else come anywhere near her when she\u2019s close to me (under the post \u2013 don\u2019t let the ball come into the feed), so I\u2019ll always stay between her and the ball\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Rebecca, however, is my bit on the side. She\u2019s great fun, but she always wants more from me \u2013 she can get a bit clingy. I\u2019m happy for her to do whatever she wants, as long as she\u2019s not trying to get into my heart \u2013 I need my space. (In Rebound, give players lots of space so they don\u2019t run you, but when they head to the post, rebound them away from it).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Essentially, if a team starts out their defence playing Rebecca (Rebound) and a collect manages to come in, they scream out \u201cFREYA!!!\u201d and the whole division reverts to Front defence. Once the ball has gone out, they can decide whether to go back to Rebecca, or stick with Freya (Front). It\u2019s essential that the division can communicate. If they are playing different types of defence and don\u2019t know about it, it won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/korfball.eusu.ed.ac.uk\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Rebound-Defence-Rebecca.pdf\">Rebound Defence (Rebecca)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/korfball.eusu.ed.ac.uk\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Front-Defence-Freya.pdf\">Front Defence (Freya)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2190 Back to\u00a0Drills Defence has been covered a fair amount in the Teams &amp; Training section.
