Ross Whitehead🔥 • Oct 1For our age group, I would say that staying compact (or getting into a compact shape) is the most important.1v1 would probably be next, and we are trying to get them to communicate better. Pressing triggers is something that we will work on in the longer term.1Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Oct 1@Ross Whitehead like you’re thinking Ross, there’s probably a lot of crossover with compactness and communication (well communication with all of the other 3!).1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Oct 1@Jamie Birch 100% the players need to talk to each other to get them to move and cover.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 2@Jamie Birch For 11 aside, we should have no more than 10-12m between players horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.Especially through the centre.Diagonal compactness essentially blocks passes from a wide zone to a central one (or vice-versa)I’ve attached a terrible image of a mid-block showing the compactness layersBlack line - Diagonal CompactnessLime Line - Horizontal CompactnessPink Line - Vertical CompactnessThe second image shows the impact of just having horizontal and vertical compactness.2Reply

Christian Garcia • Oct 1For my team I have been valuing communication as that’s what has been effecting us a lot. I been trying to find that leader in my backline to get us organized and help get settled when on the ball and off the ball. A lot of times we press and since we don’t always communicate I’ll have one of my CBs press and we lose our shape as the others are getting lost or when we are compact off the ball and we don’t stay compact enough they find those through balls on break aways2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Oct 1@Christian Garcia and have you seen improvements in communication?If a CB presses they need cover centrally behind them. Press, cover, balance. 👍2Reply

Christian Garcia • Oct 1@Jamie Birch it’s gotten better when I first got them! When I first got to the team idk why they didn’t want to talk or do much but now they demand the ball more and help each other out when to turn or have a man on so it’s gotten better2Reply

Sean Ancheta • Oct 12For my team it would have to be compactness. Once they started just playing closer together, the other teams were getting less chances on us. The better teams were able to create chances still but it has been less and less over the seasons.2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Oct 12@Sean Ancheta compactness is so important, really easy to learn and implement as well (with the right attitudes)1Reply
