The three priorities
Everything we do from here through May 30 is built around these. Every drill, every small-sided game, every game-day call.
1. Ball mastery
Every kid gets enough touches that the ball stops being the enemy. First touch, carrying under light pressure, simple turns, both feet. If feet work, half the other problems get easier on their own.
2. Spacing (anti-clumping)
Stop the swarm. Teach zones, lanes, and the idea that "your job is to be where the ball isn't yet." Positional, not formational. They don't need to draw a 2-3-1 from memory, they need to feel where they belong.
3. Aggressive forward play
Keep the ball in the opponent's half. Press when we lose it. Shoot when we see the goal. Defenders push up when we have the ball; forwards chase when we don't.
