Welcome to Next Gens U14 Defending Session Plans

At Next Gen, we recognize that defending at U14 requires discipline, communication, and tactical awareness. At this stage, players must connect their individual skills with a deeper understanding of how to defend as a unit.

Our sessions focus on sharpening 1v1 defending, improving anticipation and positioning, and developing strong tackling technique. Players also work on group defending—covering, shifting as a line, pressing as a team, and transitioning quickly from defense into attack.

Through realistic and competitive scenarios, we teach players that great defending is built on focus, teamwork, and a willingness to outwork opponents.

Together, we’re shaping the next generation of organized, fearless defenders!
