FOOTVOLLEYDEFENCE
Learn from theEuropean Champion Ron Ben Ishai
A 105-page footvolley defence e-book by four-time European Champion Ron Ben Ishai
About the E-Book
Defence in footvolley can be difficult - especially when facing stronger, more experienced players. It requires not only physical skill, but also good timing, positioning, and a deeper understanding of the game's rhythm.
This e-book is built on the defensive knowledge of four-time European Champion Ron Ben Ishai, and shaped into a clear and visual format by Eivind Daniel B. Røed, a teacher at Europe's first high school footvolley program in Norway.
We hope this e-book helps players and coaches understand not only what to do, but also why and how to do it.
