Details
Anchor players occupy bunkers that benefit from sustained presence rather than rapid transitions. These positions contribute steady output, predictable coverage, and continuity throughout the point. Anchors help shape how opponents move by controlling angles that remain relevant during prolonged engagements.
Their placement enables them to interpret shifts across the field while maintaining defensive alignment. Anchors rarely move early unless structural changes require redistribution. Their decision making centers on identifying when the formation needs additional presence in a particular zone or when emerging opportunities warrant repositioning.
Anchors reinforce teammates by ensuring that foundational bunkers remain occupied. Their consistency helps prevent structural gaps and supports the team’s ability to absorb changes caused by trades or pressure spikes.
