What this course covers

Most young defenders dive in and get beaten. This course covers approach speed, body angle, the moment to actually tackle, and how to force an attacker onto their weak foot and into your cover. Includes film review of your own defending, with staff marking the moments you committed too early.

Reviewed by real coaches. Video and written submissions in this course are read and answered by David’s Soccer Training staff — not graded automatically.
