Beliefs
Principles for scoring goals:


You must have the ball in order to dominate the game and create goal scoring
opportunities
Possession based football is the best way to get the ball and our players into goal scoring
positions.
Principles for preventing goals:



If we have the ball, our opponents cannot score
If we don’t have the ball, we must deny our opponents time and space to use the ball
If we win the ball back as close to the opponents’ goal as possible, it restricts their ability to
get the ball and their players into goal scoring positions.
