Defensive systems

This description of one of the forms of defensive systems is heavily based on the EVA Level III course notes. Alternative systems will be discussed later
The time you have as a player to move from RESET to DEFENCE is the time taken from the ball leaving the opposition's setters hands to arriving at the hitter. In this time, as a team you have to get in positions so that you can prevent the ball hitting the floor. You have to know where you are going and what your job is when you arrive whether as a blocker or a defender. Lazy players not in position cause holes to be left and give away free points.
