Combination Defenses

Combination defenses can be very devastating to any team not prepared to attack them. Like all defenses, they have their strengths and weakness. However, timing is the most critical factor to their success. One of the biggest problem of using combination defenses is that most coaches do not take the time to prepare a team sufficiently enough for them to be real effective. Combination defenses, like all defenses, need to be practiced and refined. To be successful the Box, Diamond or Triangle zones shifts need to be practiced and chaser(s) need to be adequately trained and developed.
