Really appreciate the great content! First time coaching U9 - your videos have been a huge help in preparing for the upcoming season as a coach. You rock 😎👍

Quality meeting you in Scotland Rory, great channel mate!

Coach once again a fantastic video! As a non native English speaker I especially appreciate the concise and on-point explanations and instructions. Outstanding!

As always a great learn to play and enabled me to get playing immediately. Thanks for going to the effort of making the video.

Great video, I've always struggled to teach 1v1 defense and this system helps with that and also explaining cover is spot on! Thanks

Nice video on defending, I really liked the progression from 1v1 to 2v2 and so on. Thank you!

My U9 team is playing up in a U10 league with faster, stronger, and bigger opposing teams and by implementing sound defensive principles we have been very succesful at stopping them. We are currently the top team in the league thanks to following your advice on building out of the back, patterned play and just trusting the development process. Thanks for your awesome content! Looking forward to more!

Thanks so much for this video. I've introduced the fast-slow-side-low concept to my U10 team, and they picked it right up. I think it's really going to help them remember how to defend.

YOu videos are great!! I use them to explain basic movements to my team which are adults haha. It would be great to see some other formations and comparisons. Thank you for the content!

I know this is for young kids but a lot of good beginner level explanations for new players trying to understand basics here put simply

Thanks for the video! Very good explanation

I love the breakdowns you do man very specific it's lovely for a new coach. These youngsters ultimately do what we say because they are supposed to. Can you do a video on purpose? The D wont press together unless they have purpose. Can we talk forwards and backwards passes with purpose? It's difficult when they all play baseball and basketball as well with different coaches.

Wow amazing, I coach U10s 7v7, we were a bit loose at the back yesterday, this video is fantastic, thank you, I've now subscribed

Really useful and clearly explained with supporting graphics. 👏

Excellent tutorial. You just got a new subscriber!

I just started coaching our town U12 and this is so excellent. Keep up the good work and more 9v9 concepts please!

It would be good, and extremely difficult, to do a video on culture. That's built at practice and the dad coaches need to know how to build the culture needed for success in this game 😁

Brilliant content! You got a subscriber....and a fan!

¡Gracias, gran video!

In that first diagram, 2 v 2, I would want the interior defender to close the middle to push attacker to their right (even though it will most likely be their dominant foot). However, at the same time the second defender should scoop towards middle despite giving room to second attacker by the sideline. I'll take that chance anytime over pushing the attacker to top-middle of the box.

Hey Coach, Great videos. I'm really enjoying your stuff and am using it to train my U12 Girls team. Honestly it is better material and more palatable than some training I've done via US Soccer Learning. I have a request. Are you able to chop up some of your videos into shorts? I want to be able to send shorts of many of your concepts to my girls and parents as needed. Specifically your F,S,S,L defending technique as well as the Protect, Cover, Balance piece are great resources. Lastly, I want to encourage you to continue putting out this great content. And thank you for the recommendation on the duKTIG products. I've started using their mini-books to track seasons and I laminate the hand-sized field cards to diagram my training sessions based on your video content.

Thanks alot am a left back and I just love the tips

I really liked this video. Good tips and images, I can walk my son through this video to help him. Thanks

great video. thanks for this.

This is quality content, I'm from the Netherlands and been training kids U7/8/9 for a while, this material is so easy yet powerful!

Thank you!

Coach you're my KZfaq soccer mentor. Can you apply this to a 2-3-1 defensive video next? Thanks and really appreciate your videos.

Thanks coach

Hey, thanks for the video. Do you rotate players or keep them at the same positions ?

Hola coach! What's the software you useto make the examples for this videos ? Keep up the good work!

Thanks for another great video. Any tips to help the CBs stay connected? I often find my CBs lose shape and get isolated 1v1 or leave big gaps in the middle. Of all the positions, the CBs seem to struggle with their spacing the most.

Thanks!

Hi, I really like your tips. My girl plays G15 soccer and her position is RB. She's a little small and sometimes goes up against bigger and faster attackers. What do you recommend for mitigating this?

Good teaching this is

Thank you Coach Rory for all your videos! This maybe super basic, when you are playing four goal games of 3 v 3, how do you restart play when a ball goes out of bounds?

Hey coach, another great video! I help coach a first grade 6v6 team Where goalkeepers are not allowed at this age. We have two defenders one that always pressure and one that always covers near the goal but comes out if there is a loose ball or the opponent has a bad touch. The challenge is that the defender that covers deal with lots of full speed breakaways. What should I tell the defender to do in those situations?

Right now I only have a single pair of PUGG goals to do these sorts of drills. Do you recommend getting another pair? Is it worth it or is a pair of cones just fine?

My first training session began today.Thanks to Rory for simplifying grassroot coaching

Coach this is my first time coaching and playing soccer. You're videos are great but I'm nervous. What are some tips you can give me to get the job done

Do you have any videos on how to coach when the defender is beaten. The second defender presses, the will double back back, but what does that look like and how should you reset so it’s not a giant player blob.

Around 2:50 when you say to take an angle that will push the attacker to the sideline, I am a little confused as it looks like the defender is doing the opposite.

Hi, do you have any good video examples of bad stab approach? The jab was kind of clear, but i am not necersay sure what did oyu mean by Stab.

Football!!

what software do you use?

How do you defend against a team that passes to the defender and then he kicks it up the field?

How do you defend the kick and chase?

can you make a capatin video i am going to play my frist 7 v 7 soccer match so can you make a how to be a capatin video

Good morning sir I do watch your but iam facing problems with less audio

Thank you!
