Find your private football coach in Granite Bay

The 5 S's break down the art of defending into five clear steps.

• Close down: sprint toward the ball carrier right away to limit passing and shooting options.
• Slow down: control your momentum to avoid overcommitting and getting turned.
• Get set: set a strong base that lets you mirror the attacker's movements.
• 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.

A private football coach can drill these steps until they become second nature on the pitch.
