Stay with your Opponent

As soon as it goes towards defense, each player gets an opponent assigned. He has to cover this one until the end of the round. Always pay attention to staying as close to the opponent as possible. This way you can prevent the one or other opportunity for a pass.

At the same time you build up pressure and under pressure the opponent makes more mistakes. But always keep an arm's distance between you and the other player. If you get too close, there is a danger of causing a foul.
