Playing defense and putting a player on "LOCKDOWN" are two different things. Learning to contain a player may increase your ability to lock a player down and force the ball over or force them to pass the ball.
| Defensive Position | Objective |
|---|---|
| Your opponent may make a sudden move with the ball and take your focus off of them | |
| This is center part of your opponents body so whenever they move their chest moves | |
| This will help your balance and prevent your opponent from dribbling the ball in front of you. | |
| If your opponent tries a crossover with the ball, keeping your hands out could cause a turnover in your favor. | |
These are just basic defensive positions, but with increased physical strength you will be able to be more effective on defense.
