HOW TO DEFEND AND ATTACK SET PIECES
Hi guys im a new coach this year we are 4 games into our league, my team is sruggling with marking players, is there any tips to help my under 9s.
My team struggles when defending set pieces. I have now allocated every player a role, whether that be marking, on the posts, on the edge of the area or whatever, but they lose their men quite quickly at times and we get punished! Has anyone got any tips or suggestions on how to improve on this?
