JOIN NOWHow can I get my defenders to get back?
My under 10's defenders keep getting caught forward when the opposition counter attack and we concede goals because we don't get back quick enough. How can I improve this please?

Ask youself: "is it neccassary for my defenders to go that far forward?"Start of by keeping all the defenders back and then slowly progress to the fullback moving up ect.
They need to understand that their main way to help the team is to defend rather than score.

Plus, should the question read "how do i slow the oppositions counter attacks" instead of "how can i get my players back faster".
Focus on how to slow their counter attacks and will become a major advantage for you and your team.
