Find your private football coach in Hooksett

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

• 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.
• Stand up: set a strong base that lets you mirror the attacker's movements.
• Steer: guide the attacker toward the touchline or away from goal using your body angle.
• Safety: stay patient and poke the ball away or block a pass rather than diving in.

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