Our style of play: 

We aim to play direct and quick football which makes both players and spectators excite.

In possession: When we win possession, our aim is to move the ball into the opposition's defending third as quickly as possible. Ideally we look to play through the safest routes available before the oppostion has time to reshape and settle defensively. If there is no option to play forward, the idea is to patiently maintain possession under pressure. We are looking for the moment the opposing team loses shape, then we penetrate passes to create an opportunity to advance the attack further up the field. In order for this counter-attacking style of play to be successful, it is imperative we train our player’s to understand, timing and positionng is everything, patience is key and there is no need for panic on the pitch; rather to feel confident and comfortable on the ball and to enjoy the game.

Out of possession: In the case of losing possession, depending on the location on the pitch, our default tactic is to strategically retrieve the ball as quickliy as possible. Effectively this is done by hunting zonally in pairs to force an early error. If we are unable to disposes the opposite team in their defending third or middle third, we remain compact, pressing as a team pushing the play wide or back into less threatening areas of the field. In the instance where we still have not recovered possession, we drop back and sit tight as a team. Again timing and patience play major roles in our defensive style.

Transitions: When it comes to transitions both attacking and defensively, it’s important that the players are switched on to react immediately. As gaining possession means can we play a positive pass as quick as possible?, to create goal scoring opportunities. Likewise when defending, our thoughts transition to; can we stop any forward passes from the opposition team? We believe some of the most fundamental keys to transitioning from attack to defence and vice versa, are awareness on and off the ball, positioning, first touch and fisrt decision.
