System of Play ( 1 - 3 - 2 - 1) Attacking

Goalie - Mirror the play at all times. Vocal with his CB and Outside backs encouraging the play to come back to him to build from his feet. Has to understand when to play short and when to play long out of the back. When to hold on to the ball and allow us to reset or when to release quickly to the opposite side for a quick counter attack.

Center Back (4/5 role) - Has to be technical and make good decisions with the ball. Fast in recovery and always balances the field. Pushes up high and shrinks the field for the opposition. Strong in their tackles, confident on the ball and speedy in recovery. Understands when to support outside backs

Wing Backs (Left and Right 2/3 role) - Endurance players that are able to read the game. Give us width and understand when to go high or when to come back and shift. Can read the game well to switch the point of attack through the middle or negative. Can get high in the attack in open space and get forward to goal with the ball 1 v 1 on outsides or serving balls into the middle.

Center Mids (6/8/10 roles) - These two players work off one another. Have to be very technical with the ball and have the ability to move the ball side to side off the pass. One player goes low and the other player has to go high playing on separate lines in order to break the opponents pressure. Good understanding of each others movements and able to find pockets of space.

Center Forward (9 Role) - Mirror the ball wherever it goes and always fight for the ball. High energy player putting opposing defenders with pressure. Ability to push the play out of in to cover help and cause defense to give up the ball. Scrappy player who can also get forward in 1 v 1 with the ability to finish the ball.

Screen 2

1-3-1-2 Defending

We want to split the field in half and not let the opposition switch the field. Stay tight and connected with Pressure, Cover and Balance all over the field.

Move one of our CM up to the first line and split the field Right and Left side. The other CM needs to stay connected and in cover help at all times either side of the field. Weak side forward needs to drop back into the middle of the field.

Outside defenders strong side come up high into the press, Center defender stays central and mirrors the ball either side much like the CM. The weak side defender must stay back and tuck into the middle of the field to cover the Center Defender. They have to read the game and know when to go high into the press.
