Every defender should master the 5 S's to read the game and react quickly.

• Close down: sprint toward the ball carrier right away to limit passing and shooting options.
• Decelerate: control your momentum to avoid overcommitting and getting turned.
• Get set: adopt a low, side-on stance with knees bent to stay ready for any direction change.
• Steer: use your positioning to channel the play into a less dangerous area.
• Safety: stay patient and poke the ball away or block a pass rather than diving in.

Practicing these principles with a tutor helps you defend with confidence in any match situation.

• Ages 10–12: training becomes more structured with drills on game reading and movement off the ball.
