What Does a Defender Do?

Keepers can’t keep the ball out of that large soccer net on their own. They need a strong group of defenders to play well and win as a team. This book takes readers through the formations successful soccer teams play and how defenders use their footy skills to stop the opponent’s strikers and midfielders from hitting the twine. Readers learn how teams work together to play strong defense, how to mark players in the box, and what things they should learn if they want to shine on the pitch just like the pros.
