SESSION: pressing zones

    FA county coach developer, Peter Augustine, delivers a coaching practice focusing on pressing with a group of grassroots players.

    Key objectives

    Players will develop their understanding of:

    • when and how to press the ball
    • decision-making: how many players to commit to pressing the ball
    • the importance of compactness in central areas
    • communication with teammates.
