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.
