This lesson focuses on the “Line in the Cage” defensive drill, designed to sharpen trapping, communication, and rotations. Three defenders in the middle work against four offensive players spaced in a square, with two defenders trapping the ball and the third playing interceptor to deny passes. The emphasis is on foot-to-foot traps, active hands, and vocal communication, ensuring the offense cannot split the trap. Players practice reading the ball swing, closing out aggressively, and forcing deflections while maintaining discipline and intensity. This drill builds the habits of team-oriented pressure defense essential to an effective press system.
