The Defensive Clinic is designed for middle school and high school players who want focused defensive instruction without committing to the complete Mission experience.
Every field player must be able to defend. Athletes do not need to arrive as experienced defenders—they need a willingness to compete, accept coaching and embrace the challenge of stopping someone.

Clinic registration includes one live, small-group Defensive Anchor training session.
It does not include personalized video analysis, Mission Briefs, at-home drills, reflection work, Family Debriefs or ongoing Mission evaluation. Those components are reserved for athletes enrolled in a Two-Week Mission or the Complete Pathway.
Clinic availability is limited and offered when space remains in a scheduled Defensive Anchor session (only 6 athletes per session).

Shooting
WHAT CAN MY DAUGHTER DO?
Successful defense begins before the stick makes contact. A disciplined defender closes space under control, takes away dangerous options and uses her feet to stay connected.
Depending on the focus scheduled for that date, athletes may train:
-
Approaching the ball carrier under control
-
Using angles to influence where the attacker goes
-
Moving their feet instead of reaching
-
Maintaining legal body position
-
Responding to changes of speed and direction
-
Recovering after getting beaten
-
Communicating with teammates
-
Competing without losing discipline
Defensive Clinic
THE DEFENDER'S CREED
A disciplined defender does not reach and hope.
She closes under control.
She moves her feet.
She owns the angle.
She communicates early.
She stays composed under pressure.
She competes through the next play.
DEFENSIVE CLINIC
THE CHALLENGE
Each Defensive Clinic is taken directly from the Defensive Anchor curriculum and focuses on one specific part of becoming a dependable defender.
Athletes will train through instruction, purposeful repetitions, decision-making and live competition.
This is not about chasing cones or swinging a stick. It is about learning to control the matchup with footwork, positioning and discipline.
