• Train players to anticipate and quickly transition as possession changes

Your team's ability to play fast creates positive numbers when you attack. By coaching with an emphasis on getting numbers forward, Doug Elder has led his team to success after success as they gain advantage at the point of transition.

Coach Elder shares a set of fast-paced drills that he uses to coach his players to always be moving and thinking at full speed. This develops the mindset required to create "numbers up" situations to gain advantage on the soccer field. Coach Elder's drills achieve two goals: Increasing the size of the grid works the counter attack and also enhances fitness levels. Starting with basic concepts and building to functional game play, you'll learn how to train players to consistently build numerical advantages as soon as they gain ball control. Here are just a few of the drills included in this exciting presentation:

• 1v1 to goal - Executed at game speed, this drill develops an attacking mindset when transitioning from defense to offense or vice versa.
• 2v1 - This is a fast-paced drill that presents game-like situations where an attacker could make a pass.
• Transition drill - Players work on possession while playing fast to develop a great touch, communication, and transitioning fast from offense to defense.
• 5v5 game - Players must play the ball forward to their striker before they can score, forcing them to look forward and attack the defense.

Before moving to an on-field demonstration, Coach Elder uses animated graphics to stress his coaching points. He also shows how to vary drills to get the desired results. His drills are progressive, easy to transition between and enjoyable for players execute. A secondary benefit of Coach Elder's drills is the conditioning element. The fast-paced transition requires players to stay connected to the play to give 100 percent lest they let their teammates down.

This is a great presentation for coaches who want to see their players practicing at full speed while executing simple drills.
