Defense System 3:2:1 | Basic Principles now we will introduce the 3:2:1 defense system.

This version of the 3:2:1 defense, like the 6:0 and 5:1 defenses, is interpreted as an active system that engages the opponent and defends offensively. General Information: The 3:2:1 defense consists of three defensive lines that operate separately but are interconnected. The backline includes the left and right wing players, along with […]
