Objective: 


Attacking Team

Creating Scoring Opportunities by Positional Superiority

Commit Defenders and Find the Switch 

Defending Team

Disabled and Organized When Defending 

Find Moments To Press (What are the cues?)

If you win the ball, Advance the ball immediately and Shoot Often.

Defensive Pressing:

9 cuts the angle off and splits the field in Half

Winger (7/11) Takes away an inside Pass, forcing them to play wide to their fullbacks 

Wingers (7/11) then adjust their position when the ball is played to take away an interior pass forward, then an outside pass down the line.

Forces the player to play inside to their 6/8 where our 10 steps and applies pressure once the ball is played

Everyone else must slide over and get tight to their man or to space in between players to limit the space for them to pass 


If they switch the play, the weakside midfielder steps up for the 9 and the 9 drops to cover the now weakside midfielder position
