Service Description
Places are limited and intended for League of Ireland and high-performing grassroots players. To apply for a place, please complete the application form. The Pressing, Counter-Pressing & Regaining Possession Clinic is designed to improve a player's ability to press aggressively, react immediately following a loss of possession, and regain control of the game through effective defensive actions. Players will develop the technical and tactical behaviours required to recognise pressing opportunities, apply pressure effectively, and work collectively to win the ball back within realistic game scenarios. Delivered using the same methodology applied within academy football environments, the clinic focuses on developing players who can influence the game through intensity, organisation, and intelligent defensive decision-making. Key Learning Outcomes ✅ Recognising pressing triggers ✅ Pressing angles and body shape ✅ Counter-pressing after losing possession ✅ Immediate reaction and recovery ✅ Regaining possession quickly ✅ Collective defensive decision-making
