HIGH PRESSING in Youth Soccer - You Can Do It!! 

Love this video. I liked the moments you spoke about in terms of When to press. My teams triggers or visual queues are: A poor touch A weak or bad pass When the opponents back is facing us The moment we lose the ball

subscribed for the leeds utd hat! Good content too, obviously. Keep it up!

Interesting. I've always preferred a two man press (even in single striker systems) such that you're denying the wings and essentially "giving them" the pass back to the goalkeeper. If a team wants to switch fields by going through the goalkeeper (and many, many, many teams aren't willing to do this and don't even coach it), I'm content to let them try. So I want the strikers wide such that they can move to cut with wide pass out. The second striker covers the middle so that the pass to the top of the arch isn't available and the midfielders pick up the midfielders. In your example (at 6:07) the #9 would already be further down and the blue #8 would be closer to the red #6 with the #3/#6 having responsibility for #10 depending on where they move. That forces #3 to make either an awkward pass to the GK, switch it to #2 (which most players are coached not to do at this age because too much can go wrong) or hoof it down field. A particularly good player might also find the seem to #8 but that kind of skill and vision is relatively rare. Either way, the tandem pressing always seems more effective IMO.

Under some rules, you have to be 10m outside of the penalty area on goal kicks or when the keeper takes possession. So mid block is the best you can do

Great stuff, thanks!! Where can we learn more about the principles you are discussing beyond your channel? Where/how did you learn this stuff?

Will you do the Mid Block and "bus parking" Low Block videos someday?

Coach Rory, do you have advice on how to press a team whose BOOTB is GK >> CB and then boot?

Great stuff Rory! We are just about to start implementing high pressure using 4-3-1, very valuable! One key question I have after viewing your video twice is: what if the opponent manage to change side, i.e. centerback>goalie>centerback? Which players would we engage/activate for continued high pressure?

Sir I watch every video you uploaded..but the problem is very low of voice...and sir try to keep subtitles and give examples

Do u have any 11v11 videos?

Hello thanks but I need book Do you have it

You remind me of the guy who plays in Ozark

I am really struggling! I am coaching coed u12 ayso. We have a club that does try outs and has created now 3 teams. So I have the kids that did not make it. My best 2 players are the 2 girls that tried out for u12 club and did not have enough players. I have ball hogs, kids that run all over the field, kick and chase, and several kids that can't kick the ball 10 feet, no joke. I have had to spend the first 5 weeks trying to just teach the kids how to run up to and kick the ball. Because we are all inclusive we are told to give the kids equal playing time. I have a kid who is a great goalie, but his dad wants him out in the field. We have had penalty kicks because he used his hands in the goal box. Anyway done ranting.

I was on board until he put on a Leeds United Hat😊
