Session Overview

Ryann Neushul breaks down Santa Barbara's 18U Junior Olympics film through three connected themes: patient ball movement and rebalancing against a 4–5 zone, drive defense that protects inside water and finds the ball, and quick decisions in transition and 6-on-5. Athletes learn to spread zones, hold the ball where they can release or shoot, read the goalie and shot block, use fakes, and create openings for teammates with smart movement and timing.
