Now that we have discussed and demonstrated the concept of 1 pass away gaps in the pack line defense, it's time for you to put it into practice. In this exercise, you will pair up with a teammate and work on your defensive skills.

Focus on maintaining the correct gap between you and the offensive player who is one pass away from the ball. Remember to stay in a position where you can quickly close out on your assignment while still being able to recover back to your own player if needed.

Take turns practicing defending against each other, paying attention to your positioning and movements. Encourage each other to communicate and provide constructive feedback to help improve your defensive abilities.
