Zone Defense Masterclass: When to Drop, Press, and Rotate
July 15, 2026
Session Overview
Chase Dodd breaks down five clips centered on team zone defense, including 2-3-4 structures, traps, after-goal press, represses, 4-2 defense, and the transition into offense. He explains how defenders protect the center from live entries, cover for one another, move at shooters with the right angle and body position, and communicate through rotations. The final clip connects those defensive reads to attacking a zone and creating a post entry, giving athletes a complete view of how positioning, pressure, and team defense shape possessions.
