Principles for scoring goals in football: to dominate possession with a purpose to out think the opposition and to go forward with certainty, with creativity and individuality in order to create clever goal scoring opportunities. b. Principles for preventing goals in football: To retain the ball so the opposition can’t score. If we don’t have the ball to press aggressively and effectively high up the pitch to restrict the opposition getting the ball and their players into goal scoring opportunities. c. Qualities required of players: Honesty, hard work and commitment are all fundamental core values of the team and are expected from all players irrespective of age or position.
