Find your private football coach in Ghent

The 5 S's are a set of defending principles that help players stay organized and win the ball back.

• Close down: get tight to the opponent as fast as possible to apply pressure.
• Slow down: reduce your speed as you approach so you stay on your feet and ready to react.
• Get set: set a strong base that lets you mirror the attacker's movements.
• Sideways: use your positioning to channel the play into a less dangerous area.
• Safety: win the ball cleanly with a well-timed tackle or interception.

With regular guidance, the 5 S's become instinctive and transform your defensive game.
