Find your private football coach in Nacogdoches

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: ease off just before reaching the attacker so you can stay balanced and avoid being beaten.
• Get set: position your body sideways with your weight forward so you can jockey effectively.
• Steer: force the opponent onto their weaker foot or toward a teammate for support.
• Safety: make your challenge only when the moment is right and the ball is exposed.

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