Defending the aerial into the D – a masterclass by Fede Tanuscio

A new masterclass by Fede Tanuscio is scheduled for September 15, 2023. Topic of the day will be defending the aerial into the D.

Defending the aerial into the D

We’ve all noticed the “new” trend of throwing an overhead to a striker on the back line. Challenging for all. Because it takes a lot of skill and experience to get the ball exactly to the right spot as well as receive it in a way you can make something happen for the team in possession. Not an easy one either for the team not in possession defending its D or circle. Mainly because of the most contested rule of receiving the aerial which also makes it a challenge for the third team or umpires.
