The central part offers a "Decalogue", explaining the different roles that players must know, learn and work. Some individual roles, the defender of the player with the ball and the defender of the player without the ball. Other groupal roles, in order to coordinate the work between the defenders, and, finally, a collective role. It ends highlighting the importance that tactical means of help and coverage have in this defensive system.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Team handballIntroduction to defence in zoneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
