It is our belief that proper training will improve each player's technical, tactical, fitness and psychological level of performance and thus total team performance will be enhanced. Senior tri-captain Richard Bode looks downfield for a teammate to pass to. We will vary our system of play depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. We favor an attacking style of play with main emphasis on keeping possession while going forward. In the attacking third we take risks with much positional interchange and player movement.
Creativity is encouraged with the priority being to create goal-scoring opportunities.
On defense we play both high pressure and delayed pressure depending on circumstances and use a zone defense. In the offseason players are involved in individual strength programs and play three times a week. Along with our Little Three games versus Amherst and Wesleyan we also play perennial New England powers such as Babson, Clark, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Springfield College.
