ATTACKING PRINCIPLES 1. Spread out 2.Utilize space and triangulate to create passing options 3.Pass or dribble forward when possible or hold theball (ball carrier) 4. Create a 2v1 or 1v1 5.Create diagonal passing lines 6. Vary the types of runs to try and get behind/between the defensive line(s) of the opponent 7.Play the early cross whenthere is space behind the defensive line 8. Get numbers in the box 9. Push the defensive line up and take preventive defensive action

DEFENDING PRINCIPLES Make it compact Keep it compact Pressure the player with the ball Always press in the identified situations Outnumber the opponent Provide cover and delay the opponents’ attack when outnumbered Stay in your defensive zone when the opponent changes position When necessary, switch from zonal marking to player tracking Be aware of the long ball played behind the defensive line The defensive line moves as a collective unit Take anticipated attacking action

The Seven Cornerstones SOCCER UNITES US We embrace and celebrate our differences because the game makes us one. CHARACTER FIRST We honor, teach and develop the core values of honesty, loyalty, responsibility, selflessness, compassion, and discipline. THE RULE OF FUN Fun is the lens that can make every soccer player a success. Fun takes many forms and always concludes with “I want to do it again”. THE GAME IS THE TEACHER We are all responsible to ensure that soccer teaches the skills of a well-lived life. Teamwork, leadership, hard work, communication, creativity are just the beginning of its lessons. WELL-BEING COUNTS A safe, healthy, welcoming experience in body, mind and spirit is the right of every soccer stakeholder. WE ARE FAMILY-STRONG Family in all its forms—team, club, community, relatives—is the greatest asset that soccer has. Take time to connect and appreciate. SOCCER IS THE PLAYER’S GAME Soccer is a personal journey for every player. It is for the player to see, decide, create and win or lose. It is their game.
