Play and refine! Utilize these rondos and game related activities in Primary & Secondary Defenders to teach your young players how to defend. Peel back the layers and challenge your players’ cognitive ability to recognize the appropriate moment to commit to winning the ball. Tracking the ball, managing an opponent and cutting off passing lanes are three important components covered in this complete session. Encourage discipline, controlled aggression and intelligent defending. #technicaltuesday #soccerspecific #neacademyleague
