Junior Olympics Defense: How Elite Teams Shut Down Scorers
August 05, 2026
Session Overview
Chase Dodd uses five clips from a 16U Junior Olympics gold-medal match to teach the defensive habits that shut down elite scorers. He breaks down full press into a 4–5 zone, protecting inside water, denying easy center entries, splitting to force lower-percentage shots, and staying disciplined to finish possessions instead of chasing offense. The session also covers 6x7 defense: committing to blocks, keeping defenders on the same page, and moving the ball one pass at a time so the goalie can read the play. Useful for athletes, coaches, and families studying team defense.
