In this video, Bobby Muuss demonstrates how he teaches his players to press and the art of counter pressing the "Wake Forest Way." He provides in-depth illustrations both on a white board and on the field to show different key elements for your players.

You'll learn how to train your team to press and how to quickly counter press to win the ball back as fast as you can. Muuss explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises:

• Reactions needed to win the ball back.
• How to play proactive defense.
• The importance of staying connected as a team to properly defend.

Practice Segments

Coach Muuss begins this session by having his players go through a warm-up. Within this warm-up, he addresses numerous aspects which include dynamic stretching, speed/agility/quickness, injury prevention, first touch technical work, and the foundation of individual defense with the use of mannequins.

The second segment is "2v2v2+1." It's in this exercise that players must be aware of the defending team and how quick reactions are needed to make sure they're not on the wrong side of the ball when the game ends. This is where Muuss trains the habits needed to build his pressing game at Wake Forest. It also forces his players to play and make quick decisions in tight spaces.

In the third activity, Coach Muuss shows a "7v3 Pressing Game." As with most of his games, players indirectly train multiple aspects of the game. Possession and pressing are key aspects that are covered in this game. Players are rewarded by not only keeping the ball, but counter pressing in small groups of three.

The fourth game is a progression from the previous one, but Muuss adds additional numbers and larger goals to also work on finishing from close range. The teams are given specific roles to either keep possession or counter press and score within a given amount of time.

The fifth and final game is 7v7+1. Muuss uses this game to reinforce what was taught during the session, but gives the teams additional points by winning the ball in the attacking half of the field to reinforce pressing and defending on the front foot.

Coach Muuss shows you just how effective pressing can be and how Wake Forest has used it to their advantage, making them one of the best college teams in the nation.

Bobby Muuss shows how he teaches his players the importance of playing off target players and the movement needed to attack quickly using the "Wake Forest Way." He provides in-depth illustrations both on a white board and on the field to show different key elements for your players.

In this video, you'll learn how to train your team to play off target players. Coach Muuss explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises:

• Movement and supporting angles going forward that create the most danger.
• Good reactions in transitional moments.
• Positioning of players in advanced areas and how to bring players into the match.
• Importance of finding a rhythm in the opponent's half of the field to find central areas.

Practice Segments

Muuss includes six exercises that he uses at Wake Forest. He begins this session by putting his players through a warm-up. Here, he shows how to incorporate dynamic stretching, technical passing and first touch, speed and quickness, and injury prevention all within the warm up.

The second exercise that Coach Muuss shows is what he calls "6v6+4 Transfer Box." This game addresses attacking, defending, and his transitional style of play. It's during this game that players are put in an environment where they have two target players to find; the central midfielder and center striker. The players also have to play using the correct shape while making the right decisions to be able to play through pressure and tight spaces.

In the third activity, Muuss shows how he builds from an unopposed to opposed game with a 3v0 to 3v3 transition game. Throughout the session, he teaches his players the different types of runs they can make to not only create space for themselves, but also gain the ability to combine and find third man runners. As he adds three additional players, Muuss continues to stress how important off the ball movement can be to rip apart even the most compact defenses.

Next, Coach Muuss increases the amount of players to make a 5v5 transition game. Once the ball enters the field of play, he forces two players to have to recover from transition, giving the attacking team a numbers-up situation going to goal.

After the 5v5 game, Coach Muuss makes the situation more complex by making it 9v8. An element added is the use of "Area 14," which is a key area for successful attacking teams. Through the design of the session, players now have to recognize which area is best to attack based on the defending team and how they recover.

The sixth and final game is a 7v7+1 game with touch restrictions. Muuss uses this game to reinforce what was taught during the session and adds the touch restriction to continue to force his players to play at a high tempo.

No matter what system you play, you will need to learn how to play off certain key players to penetrate and go forward with pace. Coach Muuss does an excellent job of creating the right environment to teach his players, and this video allows you to take his techniques and implement them yourself!

Wake Forest University is one of the top men's soccer programs in the country. In this video, head coach Bobby Muuss gives a rare behind the scenes look into what has helped the Wake Forest soccer program achieve tremendous success.

Coach Muuss demonstrates how he teaches his players the importance of possession to penetrate and the art of counter pressing the "Wake Forest Way." You'll see numerous progressions that will help your team be dangerous keeping the ball and allow them to quickly win it back. Muuss provides in-depth illustrations both on a white board and on the field to show different key elements for your players, including:

• The movement and supporting angles needed from supporting players.
• Reactions needed to win the ball back.
• How to read the play and make the right decisions based on positioning.
• The small details needed to be a technical attacking team.
• The importance of scanning and checking your shoulder for better vision.

Small Sided Games

Coach Muuss begins by addressing the key technical elements needed for quick ball circulation, body position, and the ability to turn in a dynamic setting. You'll see three unopposed passing patterns that lay the foundation for his team's ability to play forward. The emphasis in these particular passing patterns is that the players develop a good sense of rhythm when passing while making sure the angles of support are correct. He progresses this by showing additional patterns to be able to attack and go forward.

The second small sided game that Muuss shows is a 5v2 reaction game. It's here that he is able to cover the two main topics of the session, which are possession to penetrate using a third man and counter pressing. He trains his players to play using the correct shape and decision making to be able to play through pressure and tight spaces to find a central player. He also lays the foundation of getting into good habits of reaction when losing the ball.

In the third game, which is 4v4+3, Muuss builds from his previous game into a more complex one with the same emphasis. He creates and shows a dynamic way of teaching the use of quick ball circulation and the ability to counter press when the right moment occurs. Throughout the small sided game, he continues to stress how important off the ball movement can be and how important it is to have good reactions in a competitive environment.

The fourth small sided game is 7v0 to 7v5 Game. It's here that Coach Muuss builds his players in an unopposed environment while teaching them the playing style/philosophy he wants. These include three main objectives: ball circulation, wingers in, and positioning of the outside backs. Once the players are able to grasp the idea, he adds seven more players to the game.

The fifth and final small sided game is a 7v7+1 game with touch restrictions. Muuss uses this game to reinforce what was taught during the session and adds the touch restriction to continue to force his players to play at a high tempo.

Coach Muuss uses this video to show how he trains his teams to possess to penetrate and how to apply the counter press. Every coach must teach their team how to possess and play through the field, and this is one of the most in-depth resources to learn possession that you'll find!

Alan Yost and his Capital men's soccer team qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2017 and became the first team in program history to win a game in the tournament. Yost's 5-3-2 defensive formation contributed to his team's success thanks to its ability to quickly take advantage of the counterattack.

This video from Coach Yost will help you teach your players to be successful in the 5-3-2 through a series of drills and games that focus on the technical and tactical buildup of the formation. Yost includes play diagramming and game highlights to help illustrate each teaching point he makes. The 5-3-2 is especially effective at keeping the opponent out of your critical scoring areas while enabling an effective counterattack through transition to finish.

Building the Defense

Reinforce fundamental individual defense and build to team defensive roles through a series of four drills and progressions. Coach Yost explains and demonstrates:

• Front and back hand defending; as well as front and back foot defending.
• Defensive roles in small-sided situations.
• How to make offensive play predictable and how to recognize when to jump in during vulnerable situations to create a counterattack.

Ball Movement Through the Midfield

Through a series of two possession-focused drills and progressions, you'll learn to teach your midfielders to disguise their passes to facilitate ball movement. Yost shows how to work on ball movement in a small area and how to apply the same principles on a larger scale within the 5-3-2.

Finish the Counterattack

Coach Yost teaches a finishing drill that will train your players how to be successful when provided attack opportunities within the 5-3-2. He'll help you understand how to shift the formation to support the attack and what the roles and positioning requirements are to finish the ball consistently.

The 5-3-2, when implemented as taught by Coach Yost, can tighten up your defense and be an effective counterattack formation. This session teaches and demonstrates the player/position roles and responsibilities that will help your 5-3-2 dominate the competition!

In this video, Alan Yost works his team through a series of passing patterns, each of which incorporate a number of progressions. The session evolves into a number of small-sided games which add transitional play and build on the passing patterns that Coach Yost covers earlier in the video. Finally, Yost finishes by working on creating finishing opportunities through ball movement and transition play.

Passing Patterns

Through a series of three passing patterns, you will see how to maximize ball movement within your midfield shape. Yost runs his team through different options within each pattern while emphasizing the key points of:

• Effective ball movement with the proper touch and pace on the ball.
• Game-like verbal and visual communication.
• Disguising passes with exaggerated feints and "selling the dummy."

Small-Sided Games

Yost gives you three small-sided games which build on the passing patterns and incorporate transition. You'll see how the elements of the passing patterns can help your team find success under pressure, as well as how changing game parameters can highlight specific coaching points.

Finishing

You'll see three finishing games which expand on the concepts taught within the passing patterns and small-sided games. Coach Yost emphasizes:

• The creation of right and left options for the ball carrier.
• Why attacking the defender's front foot will help athletes find success.
• Being creative in the final third to create finishing opportunities.

This video presents ideas that can help you design a complete practice. Every small-sided game incorporates transition play and continual play while providing plenty of touches for all players. Additionally, Coach Yost demonstrates three finishing drills (with several variations) to end the training session with fun, high-energy activities. This is a must-buy for any coach whose team could improve their ball movement and finishing skills!

Ball movement, and off-ball movement, is a foundation of a successful possession game. In this video, 2010 NCAA D-III National Champion and NSCA National Coach of the Year head coach Marcus Wood walks through 21 of his most-used passing and receiving activities that will help your team automate the technique. Coach Wood uses passing patterns to raise the technical abilities of his players so when game situations occur, they are prepared to play at a high level.

Practice Organization

Coach Wood begins by explaining how to organize practices so they run smoothly from exercise to exercise. His style of practice plan is also great for players because they will easily understand what the main point of practice is on a given day. Wood shows how to pick key points for players to focus on during practice so they can maximize their improvement.

Technical Drills

Through a series of 15 passing and receiving activities without pressure, your athletes will learn to automate the technique of passing and receiving with game-like movements. You'll see how to read and execute a proper pass for players "showing" or making a stretch run. Additionally, Coach Wood's instruction will help your team keep shape and maximize available passing lanes as they possess with a purpose.

Wood uses each drill to help his team with tempo of play. He stresses the importance of moving the ball as fast as possible so that when it becomes game time, the practice is harder than the game itself. You'll see Wood use many variations of pattern play to mimic different game-like situations. Once they've practiced the patterns enough, your players won't have to think anymore - they'll just be able to naturally run through the patterns during competition. Wood shows different play combinations your athletes can use to get out of a bad situation or to score.

The highlight drill of this video is the Jeff Tipping drill. This drill will teach your forwards how to make runs by using timing and space to get behind defenders and shoot. Midfielders must learn how to put the right touch on their service so forwards can easily collect the ball and shoot.

Coach Wood's practice planning techniques and drills are excellent and are sure to boost your team's passing and receiving abilities. This video solves the problem of figuring out which passing drills or games to run in practice and will provide you with a foundation of exercises you can use going forward.

Follow UC Santa Barbara men's coach, Tim Vom Steeg, as he leads his team in a training session designed to reinforce his program's central focus: attacking from transition. Maybe once or twice a game, small moments exist after your team has won the ball and the conditions are ideal to attack; wasting these opportunities can be the difference between winning and losing.

You'll see how Vom Steeg develops an attacking mentality in his players from the session's high-energy warm-up through its conclusion. Additionally, Vom Steeg teaches the skills necessary to make the most of goal-scoring opportunities before the opposing team has time to recover.

Recognizing an Attacking Situation

In transition offense, the first player IS the transition - their recognition of an attacking situation is what determines whether or not your team can attack with a numbers advantage. Coach Vom Steeg trains his players to see the field around them in his 3v1 to 5v3 warm-up so they know when to use their first touch to attack.

Developing an Attacking Mentality

It's vital for the player attacking with the ball and the wide players around them to understand their roles when attacking from transition. Vom Steeg does a fantastic job of explaining how the player with the ball must quickly decide whether to use their first touch to move forward or play a one-touch pass to avoid pressure. He stresses the importance of a quality first pass to release wide players to finish a goal-scoring opportunity.

For wide players, Vom Steeg focuses on timing runs so their movement is going forward on the first touch, and emphasizes finishing on a first or second touch. In a 3v2 to 2v1 transition drill, players get plenty of chances to practice all aspects of UCSB's transition offense.

Coach Vom Steeg's drills focus on creating ample opportunities for players to attack with numbers and finish with a shot. In his fast-paced 6v6+3 drill, two teams of six are split into groups of two attacking players and four defensive players, with each group positioned in front of the goals on a shortened field. In a middle zone, three additional attacking players wait to start an attack going in the opposite direction off a turnover or play from the goalkeeper. If you are looking for a drill that gives your players ample opportunities to attack in a realistic game situation, this is it!

Coach Vom Steeg runs an exciting, attacking brand of soccer at UC Santa Barbara that has made them incredibly successful on the field and entertaining to watch. This video demonstrates how he prepares his players to attack from transition, and it will give you and your players the edge you need to make the most of those goal-scoring opportunities!

Follow UC Santa Barbara men's coach, Tim Vom Steeg, as he leads his team in a training session designed to reinforce his program's central focus: attacking from transition. Maybe once or twice a game, small moments exist after your team has won the ball and the conditions are ideal to attack; wasting these opportunities can be the difference between winning and losing.

You'll see how Vom Steeg develops an attacking mentality in his players from the session's high-energy warm-up through its conclusion. Additionally, Vom Steeg teaches the skills necessary to make the most of goal-scoring opportunities before the opposing team has time to recover.

Recognizing an Attacking Situation

In transition offense, the first player IS the transition - their recognition of an attacking situation is what determines whether or not your team can attack with a numbers advantage. Coach Vom Steeg trains his players to see the field around them in his 3v1 to 5v3 warm-up so they know when to use their first touch to attack.

Developing an Attacking Mentality

It's vital for the player attacking with the ball and the wide players around them to understand their roles when attacking from transition. Vom Steeg does a fantastic job of explaining how the player with the ball must quickly decide whether to use their first touch to move forward or play a one-touch pass to avoid pressure. He stresses the importance of a quality first pass to release wide players to finish a goal-scoring opportunity.

For wide players, Vom Steeg focuses on timing runs so their movement is going forward on the first touch, and emphasizes finishing on a first or second touch. In a 3v2 to 2v1 transition drill, players get plenty of chances to practice all aspects of UCSB's transition offense.

Coach Vom Steeg's drills focus on creating ample opportunities for players to attack with numbers and finish with a shot. In his fast-paced 6v6+3 drill, two teams of six are split into groups of two attacking players and four defensive players, with each group positioned in front of the goals on a shortened field. In a middle zone, three additional attacking players wait to start an attack going in the opposite direction off a turnover or play from the goalkeeper. If you are looking for a drill that gives your players ample opportunities to attack in a realistic game situation, this is it!

Coach Vom Steeg runs an exciting, attacking brand of soccer at UC Santa Barbara that has made them incredibly successful on the field and entertaining to watch. This video demonstrates how he prepares his players to attack from transition, and it will give you and your players the edge you need to make the most of those goal-scoring opportunities!

In this video, Paul Jobson demonstrates how he teaches attacking and how your sessions can be effective with any size group at practice. Throughout the video, Coach Jobson shows four different concepts that will help your team not only attack, but also transition quickly and react accordingly to where they are on the field. Jobson provides in-depth illustrations on the field to show different ideas on how to attack with low numbers and to transition quickly on both sides of the ball.

Attacking Games

You will learn how to use low numbers to teach the attacking side of the game. Coach Jobson explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the games, including:

• Movement off the ball to create the spaces needed to be dangerous in the attacking third.
• Importance of attacking shape when attacking with pace.
• How the use of 1-2 touch, combination play, and speed of play can be vital when going to goal to finish.

Practice Segments

Coach Jobson begins by showing how he puts his players in a functional passing pattern that incorporates wing play. The emphasis in this particular drill is players develop a sense of technical execution to penetrate behind an opposition's back line. This includes cutting the ball back, early crosses, finishing, and the types of runs needed from your strikers. Once players start developing confidence, he progresses this exercise to force an element of decision-making based on the receivers' first touch and decision on their first pass.

The second segment that Jobson includes is titled "3v1 to 2v1 Breakout to Goal". It's here that he shows the importance of wingers and their movement in the attack and decision-making on and off the ball. During this game, players are given plenty of repetition at not only runs from the wings, but also attacking with speed toward the goal.

After a firm grasp from the players, Coach Jobson progresses to a 3v1 to 3v2 breakout game. Here, the Baylor staff allows one additional attacker to follow the attack, but also allows one defender from the 3v1 box to recover to put more pressure on the attack team. This progression forces players into a more game-like setting.

In the third segment, Coach Jobson shows the "2v1 to 3v2 Transition Game". Players are taught the importance of transition when it comes to attacking play in this high-tempo and fast-paced small sided game. Your athletes will learn the decision-making process when attacking numbers up and attacking with speed. Players are originally placed in a 2v1 situation and quickly transition into a 3v2 look. A high emphasis is placed on maintaining proper attacking shape, body position, and having a quality end product.

The fourth and final segment features Jobson placing his players in a 6v5 to goal game in a phase of play setting using half the field. This puts players in a functional setting to replicate their 4-3-3 system. Jobson and his staff promote quality attacking play, which includes 1v1 situations, how to break lines, what they do when possession is lost, and what to look for when players are attacking from the middle to final third.

This video will teach you the correct technical and tactical elements of attacking in terms of placement vs. power finishing, proper runs that need to be made in the box when attacking the goal, how to incorporate the team and not just the forwards/strikers, and how the use of combination play and speed of play can help you gain that extra advantage when attacking. Coach Jobson has low numbers practice sessions mastered!

Whether you coach club, high school, college or even at the professional level, there will always be times when you are unable to train with your full team. Training with low numbers is always an issue at some point of the season!

In this video, Paul Jobson demonstrates how he teaches defending, even with low numbers at his practices, and, how your sessions can still be effective with the numbers you have. Throughout the video, Coach Jobson shows five different concepts that will help your team not only defend, but also transition quickly and react accordingly to where they are on the field. Jobson provides in-depth illustrations on the field to show ideas on how to defend with low numbers and transition quickly on both sides of the ball.

Defensive Drills

Learn how to train your team to defend with low numbers using some of Coach Jobson's favorite drills. He explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the drills, including:

• Learning how to utilize time to sprint to beat the ball and press effectively.
• How to take advantage of transitional moments to benefit your team defensively.
• The proper shape, distances and angles needed to defend in small groups.
• How to defend to quickly start a counter attack.

Practice Segments

Coach Jobson breaks down the five main concepts he teaches. He begins by showing a passing pattern he uses when numbers are low to get players warmed up before the session starts. "Wine Glass Passing" allows players to sharpen their passing and receiving skills, including how to properly receive a pass and quickly combine in tight spaces. This exercise is unopposed and progresses in which players can combine in different ways.

The second segment that Coach Jobson covers is what he calls the "Three Grid Game." This is where he trains his players to defend in groups of four and clarifies the roles and responsibility of the first, second, third & fourth defender. Jobson and his assistant also address the angles and distances between defenders by asking some important questions throughout the drill. The exercise progresses and allows players to add an element of transition, which forces the athletes to have to think and react on a totally different level than before.

The third segment of the video is a drill that Coach Jobson calls "4 Ball Game". In this drill, players are separated into a back four in a functional setting, illustrating the principles needed to defend in a back four. The drill starts in a 4v4 situation where the coach walks through how the back four should defend on top of the box and what key areas need to be addressed. After players have a firm grasp of the concepts, Jobson progresses by adding a center forward and a holding midfielder to make the situation even more game-like in a 5v5 setting. This small sided game does a great job of keeping players on their feet and alert to defending spaces at a moment's notice.

In the fourth drill, Coach Jobson shows how to defend when your players have a holding a midfielder in front of them in a 6v5 game. Here, you can add attacking restrictions to force defenders to react quickly against a high-tempo attacking team. The back four must learn when and how to drop and shift according to the ball movement while also being aware of the space behind them and their goalkeeper. Additionally, Jobson helps the back line with spacing and body shape on how to defend when opposing team attempts to play behind your defense.

The fifth and final segment features a half field 6v6 small sided game with two counter goals. The Baylor staff continue to address certain defensive elements that include pressure-cover-balance-compactness, cues and triggers to press quickly as an individual, and the importance of stepping in front of the ball to intercept the pass.

Coach Jobson gives you multiple options of how to train defense with low numbers in this video. You will learn how important it is to be disciplined and how quickly teams need to get in good defensive set positions when they lose possession of the ball. Successful teams win based on their solid defending principles, and now you'll get a rare inside look at how a major D-I school addresses these concepts.

This video featuring Baylor's Paul Jobson shows four different concepts that will help your team defend, attack, and transition quickly to react accordingly to where your players are on the field. Coach Jobson provides you with ideas on how to reinforce concepts in multiple areas of the game during limited practice time.

Points of Focus

You'll see how you can train your team to possess for penetration and how to quickly press to win the ball back as fast as you can. Jobson explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises, which include:

• The movement and supporting angles needed from supporting players.
• Reactions needed to win the ball back.
• Reading the play and making proper decisions based on positioning.
• The small details needed to be a technical attacking team.
• The importance of scanning and checking your shoulder for better vision.

Practice Segments

Coach Jobson breaks this video down into four small sided games. First, he begins by addressing the key technical elements needed for quick ball circulation, body position and the ability to possess in a dynamic setting by showing us his two-sided 3v1 game. The emphasis in this possession game is that players develop a good sense of rhythm when passing and making sure the angles of support are correct. This is a great high-tempo game that all of your players will enjoy.

The second small sided game is a 3 Zone Game. It's here that Jobson is able to cover the two main topics of the session: possession to penetrate using the thirds of the field and transitional moments. You'll see how to train your players to play using the correct shape and decision-making to be able to play through pressure and tight spaces to find a target player. It's during this exercise that Jobson also lays the foundation of getting into good habits of reaction when losing and winning the ball.

In the third game, which he calls "5v5 Transition Game," Jobson uses half of the field with two counter goals. You'll learn a dynamic way of teaching the use of quick ball circulation and the ability to counter-press when the right moment occurs. Throughout this small sided game, Jobson stresses the importance of off-ball movement and how essential it is to have quick reactions in a competitive environment. As his staff puts it, "transitional moments are a mentality that must be embraced by everyone!"

The fourth game is 6v0 fun cool down game where players work in groups to juggle and finish inside the 18-yard box. Jobson brings out his ball machine, which allows balls to be played in the box consistently. Players have three touches each to find all six players and finish without the ball touching the ground.

This video will show you how Coach Jobson trains his team to possess to penetrate and how to apply certain transitional moments. You will learn how important it is to maintain correct body shape, time runs, and make good decisions during different situations on the field.

with Brent Erwin,
Grand Canyon University Assistant Coach;
former, goalkeeper coach with FC Dallas of the MLS (Major League Soccer);
former goalkeeper coach with the U17 Men's U.S. National Team;
former SMU Head Coach (2007 - 2012) and former Central Florida Head Coach (2005-2007)

The modern goalkeeper must be able to play high enough up-field to act as a sweeping defender behind a back four, thus intercepting through balls and snuffing out attacks before they even begin. However, a poor decision by a sweeper keeper can quickly leave the goal undefended. Brent Erwin lays out a clear set of principles and match triggers to help goalkeepers be decisive and effective in this video; he shares how to teach a goalkeeper when to come for the ball, and, when to prioritize protecting the goal.

Using a progression of individual goalkeeper and full team practice drills, Coach Erwin demonstrates drills for getting goalkeepers off their line and out of their comfort zones in order to be explosive in 1v1 situations and full field play. You'll be able to implement strategies to improve both technical aspects of goalkeeping (body positioning and hand foot placement) and tactical understanding of body position behind defenders and in line with the ball. Ultimately, goalkeepers will develop confidence in approaching the ball off the line in practice situations in order to perform confidently in high stakes game situations.

Practice Segments

Coach Erwin breaks down this video in three main segments. He first begins his session by using only his goalkeepers in a functional, unopposed situation dealing with the technical aspects of using your hands and feet. He also addresses how to effectively use the drop step for the goalkeeper to recover back on their line.

The second segment adds pressure in a 1v1 game that forces the goalkeeper to play just outside the 18 yard box. An additional element added is how goalkeepers deal with the "chip" shot from the attacker. This puts the goalkeeper in a position to have to choose to set and confront the situation or drop and stay closer to their goal.

Small Sided Game

The last segment of the video is a small sided game that includes not only the goalkeepers, but how to add the entire team to address the needs of the goalkeeper in a 6v6+2 game with the field divided up in thirds. This game creates many opportunities for the goalkeeper to come out of their area to deal with different types of balls.

Coach Erwin explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the game:

• Best positioning to effectively sweep behind a back four
• Clear triggers for when to sweep and when to recover
• Proper technique for claiming through balls
• Proper footwork for recovering to protect the goal
• Recognizing situations where the keeper must anticipate and guard against being chipped
• Clear communication and coordination with defenders
• How the keeper should play based on the pressure on the ball
• Which balls the keeper should come out to play vs. which balls the defenders should play
• Encourage the player to take risks in practice so they know their range

Coach Erwin gives you everything you need to coach the goalkeeper when it comes to playing off your line and being able to play with your feet and hands. You'll learn the technique, player mindset, body position and the proper positioning to best manage the space in front of the goalkeeper.

Men's and Women's Performance Specialist Coach at Grand Canyon University

Soccer is a sport that demands long periods of running and long bouts of concentration on the ball no matter what age. Physically, players need speed, power, agility and quickness to be successful with the ball against an opponent.

Ben Paneccasio gives you everything you need to know to set up your own conditioning program to help get your team in shape, along with touches necessary to win. In this video, he demonstrates how to utilize the four energy zone progressions needed for players to be physically ready to play soccer at a high level.

You'll see how to combine training zones with playing zones. Each zone has different levels of fitness goals to achieve along with drills to use for the zone. This incorporates technical work with conditioning rates and gets your players to focus on technique:

• Zone 1 - longer duration; lower pace
• Zone 2 - medium duration; moderate intensity (aerobic power)
• Zone 3 - shorter duration; high intensity (anaerobic power)
• Zone 4 - short duration; maximum intensity (anaerobic endurance)

He walks you through the four energy zones step-by-step with diagrams, PowerPoints, and on-field exercises. You'll see how to go from light to maximum effort with easy to follow guidelines. Games can also be used in the progressions. You can copy Coach Paneccasio's drills or create your own using the energy zone progressions.

Coach Paneccasio gives you the ability to mix fitness and soccer without losing time just sprinting up and back on the field. The activities in this video are mentally engaging, challenging and fun. Your players won't even realize they're doing the conditioning part of practice!

former SMU Head Coach; guided SMU to 22 NCAA Tournaments in 24 years as Head Coach, won 15 conference titles and was named conference coach of the year eight times; NSCAA (now United Soccer Coaches) Director of Coaching Emeritus

Counter-attack soccer has evolved into more than just a moment in a game. This new style of soccer is becoming the fundamental attack for many teams in the world. In this DVD, Schellas Hyndman focuses on how you can incorporate counter-attack soccer into your style of play.

Coach Hyndman thoroughly breaks down moments of transition in a game and how your players can recognize those moments. He does a great job teaching the key elements of counter-attack and then shows, through multiple exercises, how to apply those elements to a practice session. Players will learn the different types of counter-attacks and how each helps the team.

3 Types of Counter-Attack

Counter-attack can be defined in many ways. It's important for players to understand the different methods to counter-attack effectively. Coach Hyndman emphasizes three methods that teams use to generate a counter attack:

• Running and dribbling with the ball into the opponent's area
• Two to three quick passes forward
• Long balls over the top

His progressive training activity illustrates all three of these methods. A great measure of flexibility is afforded for you to pull out the segments that make the most sense in your own circumstance.

Counter-Attack Practice Segments

Coach Hyndman moves the session along from discussing angles and pockets of where players can receive the ball to begin the counter-attack, to playing against more defenders with a different array of numbers advantages.

Practice builds up to players being put in different situations where they have to make decisions on how to counter-attack. Coach Hyndman stops play to describe how players can make a sound decision in these moments. He also discusses several key elements to counter-attack such as:

• Immediate forward action
• Teammates' willingness to support
• Finding swift solutions to problems by looking for opportunities

Coach Hyndman discusses the differences between a fast break and collective counter and between a solo counter and advanced counter.

4v4+1 Exercise

Most of the drills in this video start from a 4v4+1 set up. Coach Hyndman brilliantly incorporates quick ball speed, immediate forward action, a minimum number of passes and fast finishing into this activity. The activity can be expanded into numerous alternate iterations such as a 3v2, 5v1 or 5v2 counter. It's useful to be able to select the counter that best suits your own team.

Relying on his professional experience as a player and coach, Schellas Hyndman outlines the basis of an effective counter-attack, then illustrates the development of a counter attacking mindset. Under the high pressure of these progressive activities, your players will learn to rapidly penetrate under the pressure of a recovering defensive unit.

Soccer is a sport that demands long periods of running and long bouts of concentration on the ball no matter what age. Physically, players need speed, power, agility and quickness to be successful with the ball against an opponent.

Ben Paneccasio gives you everything you need to know to set up your own conditioning program to help get your team in shape, along with touches necessary to win. In this video, he demonstrates how to utilize the four energy zone progressions needed for players to be physically ready to play soccer at a high level.

You'll see how to combine training zones with playing zones. Each zone has different levels of fitness goals to achieve along with drills to use for the zone. This incorporates technical work with conditioning rates and gets your players to focus on technique:

• Zone 1 - longer duration; lower pace
• Zone 2 - medium duration; moderate intensity (aerobic power)
• Zone 3 - shorter duration; high intensity (anaerobic power)
• Zone 4 - short duration; maximum intensity (anaerobic endurance)

He walks you through the four energy zones step-by-step with diagrams, PowerPoints, and on-field exercises. You'll see how to go from light to maximum effort with easy to follow guidelines. Games can also be used in the progressions. You can copy Coach Paneccasio's drills or create your own using the energy zone progressions.

Coach Paneccasio gives you the ability to mix fitness and soccer without losing time just sprinting up and back on the field. The activities in this video are mentally engaging, challenging and fun. Your players won't even realize they're doing the conditioning part of practice!

Coach Erwin takes you through a series of fast-paced drills that teach players how to attack the back line. His innovative second ball drill simulates many of the second chance scoring opportunities that players often miss in games. He turns typical passing combination drills into short, action packed competitions, forcing players out of their comfort zone.

Warm-up Series

You can now skip slow, tedious warm-up drills and move straight into game actions that foster team chemistry while at the same time double as a dynamic warm-up. After a short white board session, Erwin walks players though the combinations used for future drills. The crawl, walk and run approach is used, giving you the flexibility to emphasize your own team needs. As the warm-up progresses, defensive players are added to create game-like conditions.

One-Touch Opportunities

Coach Erwin challenges old soccer training methodology with his use of "second ball" during game action. Players discover how to score more off of one-touch opportunities. His emphasis on scoring positions puts players in spots that the defense can't keep up with.

He takes one of the hardest ideas for your young soccer players to master, identifying and attacking the defensive back line, and turns it into a strength. Coach Erwin's principles and progressions are intuitive, allowing coaches of all age groups to seamlessly apply them to practices. Your players will learn to:

• Identify key scoring spots for more shots on goal
• Transition from an attacking pattern into scoring spots to increase the number of second chance shots
• Shoot off one touch, which improves scoring IQ
• Learn how to break the back line with sophisticated angles and passes
• Integrate passing patterns that confuse back line formations and leave them more susceptible to open shots

7v7+1 Exercise

Coach Erwin uses a free flow style of coaching and only stops play after several minutes to allow players to solve problems on their own. This style rapidly increases a team's IQ and chemistry while reducing the number of wasted possessions.

Counter-attack soccer has evolved into more than just a moment in a game. This new style of soccer is becoming the fundamental attack for many teams in the world. In this DVD, Schellas Hyndman focuses on how you can incorporate counter-attack soccer into your style of play.

Coach Hyndman thoroughly breaks down moments of transition in a game and how your players can recognize those moments. He does a great job teaching the key elements of counter-attack and then shows, through multiple exercises, how to apply those elements to a practice session. Players will learn the different types of counter-attacks and how each helps the team.

3 Types of Counter-Attack

Counter-attack can be defined in many ways. It's important for players to understand the different methods to counter-attack effectively. Coach Hyndman emphasizes three methods that teams use to generate a counter attack:

• Running and dribbling with the ball into the opponent's area
• Two to three quick passes forward
• Long balls over the top

His progressive training activity illustrates all three of these methods. A great measure of flexibility is afforded for you to pull out the segments that make the most sense in your own circumstance.

Counter-Attack Practice Segments

Coach Hyndman moves the session along from discussing angles and pockets of where players can receive the ball to begin the counter-attack, to playing against more defenders with a different array of numbers advantages.

Practice builds up to players being put in different situations where they have to make decisions on how to counter-attack. Coach Hyndman stops play to describe how players can make a sound decision in these moments. He also discusses several key elements to counter-attack such as:

• Immediate forward action
• Teammates' willingness to support
• Finding swift solutions to problems by looking for opportunities

Coach Hyndman discusses the differences between a fast break and collective counter and between a solo counter and advanced counter.

4v4+1 Exercise

Most of the drills in this video start from a 4v4+1 set up. Coach Hyndman brilliantly incorporates quick ball speed, immediate forward action, a minimum number of passes and fast finishing into this activity. The activity can be expanded into numerous alternate iterations such as a 3v2, 5v1 or 5v2 counter. It's useful to be able to select the counter that best suits your own team.

Relying on his professional experience as a player and coach, Schellas Hyndman outlines the basis of an effective counter-attack, then illustrates the development of a counter attacking mindset. Under the high pressure of these progressive activities, your players will learn to rapidly penetrate under the pressure of a recovering defensive unit.

Many teams have taken to defensive tactics of compaction and organization in their half of the field, allowing superior teams to have the bulk of the ball and possession. An organized and compact press can allow less talented teams to break down superior opponents, or allow possession-oriented teams to quickly win the ball back in their opponent's half.

Using a progression of team defense practice drills, Hyndman demonstrates four practice drills for pressing your opponent that build on top of each other. He concludes with a short video demonstration to reinforce the ideas taught.

Pressing Drills

Learn how to teach your players to have a two-way mentality and quickly go from offense to defense in order to win the ball back quickly. Coach Hyndman teaches the team philosophy of pressing quickly and with numbers in order to be effective. You'll see:

• 6v3 - A passing exercise used to teach your team to trap effectively and to see the field
• 6v6 Game-Like Pressing - Creates an environment where the defensive team can practice their pressing
• 7v7 Game-Like Pressing - Improves individual defending
• 11v11 Game-Like Pressing - Creates an opportunity to have a real life game situation with limitations on the offense
• Game Film - Coach Hyndman brings you into the classroom and breaks down film on pressing

Practice Segment

With his 6v3 practice segment, Coach Hyndman begins to reinforce the mentality needed to be an effective high press team. He explains the importance of teaching your players to recognize when and how to press in order to be most effective at winning the ball back from your opponents.

Coach Hyndman begins by using slides to give you visuals and then takes you to the field where you learn the importance of:

• Having the mentality to attack with and without the ball
• Physical conditioning to be equal to the demand of the press
• Pressing using angles of pressure and positions of supporting players
• Having key individuals to lead the press

You then have the opportunity to see the drill live and hear comments from Coach Hyndman.

Coach Hyndman gives you a lot of material to look over in this video. You'll be able to use the included content at practices as individual drills or as a progression for pressing.

The modern goalkeeper must be able to play high enough up-field to act as a sweeping defender behind a back four, thus intercepting through balls and snuffing out attacks before they even begin. However, a poor decision by a sweeper keeper can quickly leave the goal undefended. Brent Erwin lays out a clear set of principles and match triggers to help goalkeepers be decisive and effective in this video; he shares how to teach a goalkeeper when to come for the ball, and, when to prioritize protecting the goal.

Using a progression of individual goalkeeper and full team practice drills, Coach Erwin demonstrates drills for getting goalkeepers off their line and out of their comfort zones in order to be explosive in 1v1 situations and full field play. You'll be able to implement strategies to improve both technical aspects of goalkeeping (body positioning and hand foot placement) and tactical understanding of body position behind defenders and in line with the ball. Ultimately, goalkeepers will develop confidence in approaching the ball off the line in practice situations in order to perform confidently in high stakes game situations.

Practice Segments

Coach Erwin breaks down this video in three main segments. He first begins his session by using only his goalkeepers in a functional, unopposed situation dealing with the technical aspects of using your hands and feet. He also addresses how to effectively use the drop step for the goalkeeper to recover back on their line.

The second segment adds pressure in a 1v1 game that forces the goalkeeper to play just outside the 18 yard box. An additional element added is how goalkeepers deal with the "chip" shot from the attacker. This puts the goalkeeper in a position to have to choose to set and confront the situation or drop and stay closer to their goal.

Small Sided Game

The last segment of the video is a small sided game that includes not only the goalkeepers, but how to add the entire team to address the needs of the goalkeeper in a 6v6+2 game with the field divided up in thirds. This game creates many opportunities for the goalkeeper to come out of their area to deal with different types of balls.

Coach Erwin explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the game:

• Best positioning to effectively sweep behind a back four
• Clear triggers for when to sweep and when to recover
• Proper technique for claiming through balls
• Proper footwork for recovering to protect the goal
• Recognizing situations where the keeper must anticipate and guard against being chipped
• Clear communication and coordination with defenders
• How the keeper should play based on the pressure on the ball
• Which balls the keeper should come out to play vs. which balls the defenders should play
• Encourage the player to take risks in practice so they know their range

Coach Erwin gives you everything you need to coach the goalkeeper when it comes to playing off your line and being able to play with your feet and hands. You'll learn the technique, player mindset, body position and the proper positioning to best manage the space in front of the goalkeeper.
