General Principles• High Pressure – First 10 of the halves and adjust as needed. We are ok with
testing opponents with long balls in first ten minutes before settling to control game.
• Organized and compact in defense• Must have defenders who love to defend• Creative and explosive in attack• Must have players who are creative and confident
• Dictate the pace of play…pressing, quick through the run-of-play, quick throws (behind the defense straight to goal when on), quick set pieces in midfield etc.
• Always receive ball “face up / open up”, everywhere on the field• Always communicate

General Defensive Principles• Collective Defending
• Active and aggressive defending, anticipation
• Cover for each other
• Every defender needs 45 degree coverage
• OB’s must step to opponents OM’s, and they must step quickly
• No balls bounce in the back…attack the ball, leave nothing to chance
• Playing out of the back
• Safety, live to play another play…in other words, know when to give it a ride
• Be patient when defending the counter
• CB’s keep play in front of you
• Communicate

General Attacking Principles
• Pick on defenders
• Be a moving target…never kill the ball
• Run off the ball, even a bad run is better than no run
• Want the ball
• Change of pace
• When going 1v1, slow down to set your defender up
• Forwards must have as much effort, concentration, and pride holding the ball as they do when going to goal.
• Shoot Low Hard and on Frame
Examples of Play

• “Group defending”

4-3-34-3-3Common Shifts in
GameWe will spend a good amount of our games with a holding pushing up to the AM level to support forwards and make penetrating runs. Note OBs push up to press higher up the field. We will score some goals… no… a ton of goals. That said, we are more vulnerable to a counterattack or long ball.
Blue areas are dangerous areas… CB communication and OB covering/CB stepping to ball in blue area is key.

Corner Number
• The first corner will be a #1 or #2. If two defenders step, then a #2. If 1 defender or no defenders step, it will be a #1.
• Later in game we will mix in a #3 if it looks favorable.
• #4 will be introduced later in season.
