Principles of Defensive Restarts
Defensive organization at set plays needs to be thought out in detail. It is important that players should be detailed to specific tasks and each set play rehearsed. When players know what task they have to perform they concentrate upon doing it. If every player concentrates 100% in his task, the danger from set plays is immediately reduced considerably.
