Tactics

Playing through the thirds

Soccer tactics range from the way a player stands or moves to the pace, style, positioning, and movement of the entire team.

 

How those concepts are conveyed is a language of its own, which can be baffling to a new coach and even to some experienced ones.

 

The drills, games, and activities in this section will help you build a team that can adapt to different playing styles.

 

You can use these sessions and advice to coach tactics to your players. How do you train them to cope with a team that presses high up the pitch? Or one that sits deep and invites pressure?
