I need help, The midfielders on my rec team are fairly good as in they are fast and can pass shoot and so on. But the one thing they really can't do is PLAY DEFENCE which is obviously bad b/c that gives fast brake adv. to the other team. what are some drills we could get them to do to fix that?

Well I don't think fast breaks have anything to do with defense but rather your midfielders not getting back after the offensive possession.

no you missunderstood what i meant. what i mean is that our middies frequently get beat when deffending and once thier man goes by them they are really of no help to us anymore because well...they already got beat. Outside of just that playing defence is something our middies struggle with

Well in that case you need to learn slides. In many defenses it is alright if a may gets beat as long as the slide from the crease comes and the 2 and 3 slide also go. then the middie beat fills right back in and the D is fine. That is how most teams play.

Me and TNL goalie are on the same team. What we want to know is good drills that we could do to improve are midfield defence. Our poles are good and hold up, it's just the middies don't play good D.
