Find your private football coach in Southampton

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

• 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.
• Stand up: position your body sideways with your weight forward so you can jockey effectively.
• Steer: 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.
