Ep. 12 - 7v7 Soccer Defensive Principles - Part 1 Goalkeeper, Centerbacks, and Wide Midfielders

In part 1 of a 2 part series, I break down the defensive roles and positioning of all the positions in 7v7v soccer, starting with the 1 (goalkeeper), 4/5 (centerbacks), and 7/11 (wide midfielders).
Understanding the roles and positions, and more importantly, the relationships, will help you understand the game better, and help you to design training programs to reinforce these principles of defending.
In part 2, we'll look at the 9 (striker) and 8 (center midfielder) and tie it all together.
