Small-Sided Game Mastery #13: Defensive Shape Through Small Sides
Members will get this session straight into their inbox Defending isn't about individual tackles. It's about collective organisation, coordinated pressure, and making the opposition play where you want them to play, not where they want to play.
The Problem: Teams that defend as individuals rather than units, allowing easy passes through their lines and giving away simple goals through poor positioning.
The Session That Fixes It: Compact Back Line
Builds defensive organisation, pressing coordination, and communication
Goal: Develop systematic defensive organisation through coordinated pressing, proper spacing, and communication that prevents easy scoring opportunities.
