Video of Defensive Slide


 
DESCRIPTION-  During a defensive slide, feet are slightly wider then shoulder width.  Knees are bent at about a 45 degree angle.  With this type of slide you never want your feet to cross or touch.  In a defensive slide, you can move to your right or left.  To move left, the player will take a small step directly to the left with the left foot.  Once the left foot touches the floor, the right right can then follow.  All of the movements in this slide take place within the frontal plane.  The arms are also slightly bent and stay within the frontal plane.

Terminology-

Frontal Plane- Directly to the left or the right of the player.
