Defending the High Cross

I have transcribed my notes from the Suffolk County Soccer Coaches Association (SCSCA) winter clinic on the subject of Defending the High Cross.

This was a session put on by Bobby Muuss, goalkeeper coach for the UCONN Men's Team. (Final Four participants this year) For any of the coaches and parents out there who have ever had the pleasure of seeing Bobby put on a clinic, you'll know that not only is he a great coach, but he is an extremely funny guy who can really hold your attention.

I have added to what Bobby taught a number of diagrams to hopefully clarify the text.

Please comment on the clarity and usefulness of this session in my guestbook. Thank you.

Movement Off The Ball - The Quad Tris

Ron Alber, my daughter's trainer from her U10 team, showed me the basics of this exercise several years ago. Ron holds an Advanced National NSCAA diploma and a USSF B License.

Watt Keller, a coaching colleague of mine from Georgia, added the 1-2 give and go section to the drill and told me the name was the Quad Tris, a name which has stuck.

I added the next progression of a third man running off the ball and the defnders pressuring the player checking back.

All in all a cooperative coaching effort which has been requested at least a hundred times from various websites and the soccer-coach-l e-mail list.

Making the Killer Pass

The following series is from a clinic I attended in February 2000 hosted by the Suffolk County Soccer Coaches Association. The topic was Making the Killer Pass and was given by SUNY Farmingdale head coach Bo Wernsbacher.

The basic building block of this exercise is proper utilization of the 4 v 2 both technically and tactically.

Feedback is vital to the improvement of the coaching content presented on these pages.

Coaching Principles - Creating a Team Bond

CoachingPrinciples-CreatingaTeamBond.pdfCoachingPrinciples-CreatingaTeamBond.pdf

Turning the Ball - Match Related

Players who can receive and turn the ball against intense pressure and in tight space, and who can then take on defenders to go to goal, are extremely valuable to their teams. Such players have the ability to compete and contribute at the most competitive levels.

BasicTurnDrill.pdfBasicTurnDrill.pdf

Check Back - Spin Away

Some teams have a problem getting their forward Players to come back for the ball (check). However the teams that are able to get their forwards to check to the ball sometimes have the opposite problem -- getting the forwards back into a forward position. The check and spin is a good technique to get your forward players to use, to put themselves back into a forward position after they have checked to the ball.

CheckBackandSpinAway.pdfCheckBackandSpinAway.pdf

What is a Coach?

A coach can be many things to many different people. A coach is a teacher, a mentor, a role model, sometimes a friend and confidant. Most of all though a coach must be positive.
