Find your private football coach in La Grange

In football, the 5 S's form a simple framework for solid defensive play.

• Shut down: get tight to the opponent as fast as possible to apply pressure.
• Decelerate: reduce your speed as you approach so you stay on your feet and ready to react.
• Stand up: set a strong base that lets you mirror the attacker's movements.
• Sideways: 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.
