The 5 S's break down the art of defending into five clear steps.

• Close down: move toward the attacker quickly to reduce time and space on the ball.
• Decelerate: ease off just before reaching the attacker so you can stay balanced and avoid being beaten.
• Stand up: set a strong base that lets you mirror the attacker's movements.
• Sideways: use your positioning to channel the play into a less dangerous area.
• Secure: 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.
