360+ Soccer Attacking & Defending Drills: Soccer Football Practice Drills For Youth Coaching & Skills Training - Paperback

by Christoph Friedrich (Author)

ATTACKING: In order for a team to play up to its full potential, any good coach must teach how to attack and show what a team can do to maximize its chances of scoring. The main objective of an attacking strategy is to produce space and time in which to create scoring opportunities by using individual ability, quick, confident combination play and a constant movement of players. Hence coaches should attempt to create training conditions that induce players to develop their individual soccer skill while manipulating time and space. DEFENDING: Good defending is the cornerstone of every team that wins the majority of its games. It is the coach's role to build a certain kind of pride in his players to enjoy shutting out the other team. Therefore all players on the team should learn how to defend well including midfielders and forwards and not just defenders exclusively. Players that defend well, with a disciplined, protection first mentality, can contribute a lot to a team and may even realize that they're playing more effectively than in the past because you dedicated time and effort to become great at this soccer skill. The competitive U8, U9, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17 soccer drills and progressive soccer games in this book will help you coach your players the attacking and defending principles and improve the soccer skill needed in those situations as a team and individual.
