Find your private football coach in Ponchatoula

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

• Shut down: sprint toward the ball carrier right away to limit passing and shooting options.
• Slow down: reduce your speed as you approach so you stay on your feet and ready to react.
• Stand up: adopt a low, side-on stance with knees bent to stay ready for any direction change.
• Sideways: guide the attacker toward the touchline or away from goal using your body angle.
• Secure: make your challenge only when the moment is right and the ball is exposed.

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