Understanding Zone Defense in Women’s Lacrosse
Zone defense in women’s lacrosse is a strategy where defenders cover specific areas of the field, focusing on clogging high-risk scoring zones, such as the 8-meter arc, while following key rules like avoiding shooting space violations and the three-second rule. This approach is effective against strong offensive players but requires strong communication and quick rotation to prevent gaps and potential scoring opportunities.
