Defend closely against the player with the ball

We continued discovering and acquiring new knowledge about a team play. In our agenda, we have principles of zonal defending, pressing, covering, team balance and marking, including importance of the close defending against the player with the ball, as well as various types of pressing. With the use of power point presentation highlighting several instances that occur during the game, and magnetic white board, players could visualize and analyse situations and experimental movements to find the best possible solution for football problems.

During training session and all our work of today, we had assistance and expertise opinion from Jimmy Lindsay, Scottish born professional football coach who was our guest for the day. Jimmy is the coach with charisma that is a gift important as any other characteristic. He got the attention from the kids from the first minute and guided them through the mostly interesting session aiming to improve individual and team play. They were switching from the attack to defense keeping composure in fun, challenging and intensive exercises.

Along with coaching methods that are a trademark of Knowhowsoccer programs, such as proactive, challenging and mostly the game related exercises and sessions, we are happy to see progress with our players, including learning information and understanding of actions. This is a perfect match for the summer football experience at the camp.
