Points of Emphasis for the 2024-25 Season
Points of Emphasis for the 2024-25 Season

SPA & DOGSO
Stopping a Promising Attack (SPA) is a point of emphasis for NFHS this year. Elements to look for include:
  • Fouled player moving at speed.
  • Player having space to maneuver.
  • Player having options
  • Dribble the ball.
  • Pass to a teammate who has options.
  • Shoot on goal.
SPA Video Links Examples:
  • Attacker has plenty of space and defenders are out of position on this counter-attack.
  • No card: Attacker does not have a clear path to goal or any other options.
  • DOGSO: Goalkeeper is retreating, and no defenders are in a position to intercept attacker before she could take a shot.
  • Attacker has speed and option to pass to a teammate
  • DOGSO: Look closely, the foul is outside the penalty area.
  • DOGSO: The goalkeeper committing the foul is the second last defender. The defender near the goal is unable to handle the ball so this makes goal scoring opportunity much more obvious.
