We teach teamwork and when combined with a "Formation" and "Style Of Play", they provide the organization for your team's play. Starting at U-8, we teach our players the concepts of "Positions" (i.e., that there are "Forwards", "Midfielders", "Fullbacks" and a "Goalie"), "Support" (i.e., "First Defender/Second Defender" and "First Attacker/Second Attacker/Third Attacker") and to "Shift & Sag". These concepts are easily taught and, in essence, teach teamwork. They make a huge difference in our team's play.
