Strong Defense Mechanics“No Matter What-SoWhat”
By Coach Adam La Serna, LFA
“The biggest Key to Effective Fielding is Anticipation. The player that assumes the ball is being hit to her is a Confident defensive Fielder and is ready at all times, no matter what-so what. Knowing what to do once a fielder receives the ball is just as important as knowing how to receive the ball properly. The Two Elements of Defending the Field of Play when combined is a vital force to oppose!”
– Coach Adam
