SHUT DOWN

SHUT DOWN

As the attacker dribbles towards you and your goal, SHUT DOWN the space.

Deny your opponent space by shutting him down quickly.

SLOW DOWN

SLOW DOWN

As you approach your opponent, SLOW DOWN.

Coaching Points:

Slow down. If you don't slow down there's a risk that your opponent can skip past you and you'd be left behind, chasing back.

Delay the attack.

Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): STAND UP

STAND UP

STAND UP

Stay on your feet. Do not dive in.

Coaching Points:

Don't dive in. If you slide in and your opponent beats you, you're on the floor and out of the game. It's much harder to recover from here.

Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): SIDEWAYS

SIDEWAYS

Get SIDEWAYS on.

Coaching Points:

By getting sideways you're in a much better position to react and adjust and turn in case your opponent beats you.

SAFETY

Always protect your goal and try to force your opponent away from your goal.

Coaching Points:

Always make sure you are positioned directly between the ball and your goal.

Use your positioning to dictate where your attacker goes. Preferably away from your goal.
