Answer:
On defense, players work to regain possession of the ball and prevent a goal in their own net. The defense attempts to knock away or steal the ball from the offense, or commit a foul in order to stop an offensive player from taking a shot on goal.The following points I feel are needed if one is to be considered a basically good defensive player: 1) anticipating, 2) assuming an immediate defensive position, 3) watching the ball, 4) playing the ball and not the person, 5) performing the grab block, 6) performing the lunge block, 7) positioning while swimming.
