Positions- Ideas On How to help my players stay in position

My players have a hard time staying in their position or understanding their positions. Any help?

Hi Andrea,

One suggestion I have is to give the positions names that reflect the nature of the role rather than the position itself. You could even get the players to come up with these descriptions themselves to see what they understand of it. This way they may have a clearer understanding of what their role is within the team.

For example, instead of `center forward`, you might use `sharp shooter` or `goal hunter`, instead of `center half`, you might use `playmaker` or `conductor`. I hope that`s helpful!
