Drills: 69 drills for techniques and tactics (book)
DESCRIPTION This
collection of challenging drills is a great resource
for teaching advanced skills and for developing
smart team players. You'll find 69 drills to help
players A<>A* develop the ability and confidence
to handle the ball under pressure, A<>A* improve
the way they see the field and make decisions, A<>A*
master advanced skills that they can use in specific
game situations, and A<>A* apply their skills successfully
within a team framework. The drills are organized
according to specific objectives, with a drill finder
to help you select the drills that work on the areas
you want to improve. Each drill is presented in
a two-page format that includes instructions about
the drill's organization and procedure, key points
for learning it, a large, clear diagram, and suggested
variations for adjusting the difficulty level of
the drill. Coaches will especially appreciate the
chapter on using drills to construct practice sessions,
as well as the 1-vs.-1 player-evaluation model,
which you can use as a tool for selecting team members
or as a practice exercise. The drills in this book
are more challenging and more fun than the basics
and are particularly valuable for select youth league,
high school, and college-level players. Players
under the age of 12 who have a solid grasp of the
fundamentals will also benefit from some of these
drills. Better practice means better performance.
Advanced Soccer Drills is the perfect tool for developing
complete players with high-level skills and soccer
savvy. AUDIENCE Trade book for soccer coaches and
players; reference for coaches. CONTENTS Drill Finder
