defensive/defender/defending Explanation: Completely depends on how you structure your translation. I THINK the 'position' bit is superfluous, but I'm not an expert in the area. |

Defensive position Explanation: https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/defensive-systems... Correct defensive positioning which will increase the probability of successfully blocking and/or digging the opponent’s attack occurs PRIOR to the attacker’s contact with the ball. 'in the defensive postion' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2017-11-29 15:33:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or better still 'in the defensive position'!!!!! Sorry typo!!! |

on the defensive end Explanation: Obviously talking about field handball (handball played indoors; outdoors handball has gone the way of the dodo bird). Kreisläufer (pivot) compares to the center ('man in the middle') position in basket ball. Basically the link between the offense and defense on the court. |
