Playing Philosophy

At Elite we believe the best way to secure victory is to establish a high energy, enthusiastic, offensive style of play through which our teams establish a majority of possession 51%+ and place teams under continued pressure with the ball whilst sustaining pressure through a counter press regain strategy and desire to have the ball and occupy/dominate space on the pitch. Our teams will at minimum match the energy and enthusiasm of our opponents at all times.
