DEFENDING PRINCIPALS

KEY COACHING POINTS:

5 Defendsive principals

Delay - is the defense’s ability to slow down an offense to disrupt the pace and/or numerical advantage of an attack.

Depth - Depth is a defense’s placement on the field -- too deep and there is too much space for an offense to hold the ball in front of them, too shallow and there is too much space for an offense to get behind.

Balance - refers to a defense’s strength all over the field, not just those directly defending the ball.

Concentration - is a defense’s focus, which is critical to avoid simple mistakes like miskicks that can give opponents undeserved opportunities.

Composure/discipline/patience - is an intangible that an entire team must possess to maintain defensive shape and the other four principles even while under constant pressure.

Every player starts with a bib tucked in shorts except the "tigger" The tigger needs to get the bib out of the other players shorts. There is 1 safe zone, only 1 player can enter this at a time if another player comes they can "Demand entry which means other player has to leave. You can only stay in here for 10 sec max.

Progression 1

Caught players have to work together - this is done by holding a bib between them. This will encourage team work
