Attacking Principles:
1. Offensive Width – is the space in which the game is being played (playing area).
2. Offensive Depth – offensive players without possession position themselves within the offensive width to create space.
3. Advancement – Movement of play players’ game object (i.e. ball) parallel to goal line.
4. Mobility – movement of players’ game object to create space (i.e. passing).
Defensive Principles:
1. Engagement – the defender who is specifically attacking the offensive player in possession of the game object. Types: pressure, confrontation, tackling, and checking.
2. Defensive Depth – defensive support for the defensive group.
3. Expansion – position of off-ball defenders in reaction to movements of attackers (defensive positioning of individuals). Types: balance, spread, and defensive width.
4. Contraction – position of off-ball defenders to occupy space and protect scoring area. Types: convergence, funneling, and concentration.
