Futsal Session (Junior): Team shape and positioning

Description

Vision

To fully prepare each player for the demands of competition; by enhancing their technical skill, tactical understanding and providing them with the tools to achieve their full potential. My vision is to give each and every one of you the belief, motivation and skill to be the best of which you are capable.

Playing style

BP: dominate possession & control the game through proactive-play based on possession with progression. Through recycling the ball quickly & well-timed complimentary movement we can effectively create space through the thirds. 

BPO: out of possession, we are patient & compact. Strong when pressing individually, and stronger still when pressing collectively. Man-marking in attacking half / zonal marking in defensive half. 

BP>BPO: turnover of possession - press collectively and immediately to win the ball back quickly. If we cannot win it quickly, drop off to occupy space through the thirds and block direct passing lines. 

BPO>BP: recovery of possession - quick forward movement & quick passing to exploit overload as soon as possible. Be quick but don't hurry; diagonal & opposite runs from supporting players to create  / clear space ahead of ball carrier.

Philosophy

We cannot be truly confident unless we are prepared. With this in mind, it's important to understand that we have very little control over the many possible variations an opponent might use in a game. We do, however, have complete and total control, over the preparation and execution of our game. 

I'm a firm believer that it takes time to create excellence. If it could be done quickly, more people would do it. Excellence requires patience / Success requires patience. And so, we focus on the things over which we have control, and commit ourselves to getting a little bit better, every day in preparation.
