Gary Fixter - Position Game What is it?

Gary Fixter - The position game is an idea, an identity, a style, a way of seeing, understanding the game. For many, it is a way of playing the game, the behavior of our team is the methodology that some teams use in the competition.

Having a game model with very specific characteristics, playing the ball from the position, with the different moments and phases of the game (which are related to each other), having an organization of its own operation.

Having an initiative attitude about the game through the possession of the ball or his quick recovery.

Gary Fixter -What does it consist of?

The position game consists of generating superiorities from the position, when we have the ball, to overcome the rival defense. For this, the players are organized and placed at different heights and in different ‘aisles’, both in width and depth.

The objective is to find superiority situations with respect to the opponent or to generate them progressively from the beginning, when we have the ball until the action is finished. You have to generate superiorities behind the line that presses you, get the ball clean and be able to move the ball and players together

To dominate the game through having the ball, possession, creating numerical superiorities in the different lines (defense, average and front) that we meet and getting the ball clean from behind.

We will always organize ourselves through the ball. In positional play it allows the team, players, positions and the ball to travel together, going together. Team, positions, ball, players ... all travel together, always together to attack and the team together to defend. The team is like a single block.
