Details

Containment players focus on controlling angles that restrict opponent access to specific portions of the field. These positions may sit near the edges or interior, depending on the layout. Their objective is to limit how far opponents can safely extend during the point.

Containment roles require disciplined posture, selective exposure, and steady output. They interpret changes in opponent behavior, adjusting their coverage to maintain influence over contested spaces. Teammates rely on containment players to prevent opponents from establishing pressure on vulnerable zones.

The position contributes directly to maintaining structural boundaries and shaping how opponents distribute their resources across the field.
