SportsLab360: Defensive Shifting - Intermediate

Written by Cal North Soccer | May 1, 2021 5:29:05 PM

This month's theme is on defensive shifting - intermediate. It will be available through the month of May exclusively to Cal North members at no cost.

We are constantly looking for new and valuable content and resources. Our partnership with SportsLab360 has helped us in that effort. Each month, in partnership with SportsLab360, we provide an accessible, practical, organized, and easy-to-use program that is focused entirely on tactical development. 

Here's how it works: 
Assign the SportsLab360 modules to your team and players, customize the content to suit your style of play, track the scoring of your players, and even tap into the library of session plans that they offer.

This module will look at defensive shape when the ball is in central areas. It will teach concepts like pressure, cover, and balance, and will teach defenders how to make proper recovery runs. After working through this module, you will be able to handle any defensive scenario you find yourself in!


Here are three available modules you can share with teams this month:

7 v 7

 9 v 9 

11 v 11
