DEVELOPING SYSTEMS OF PLAY (C)
This seminar addresses one of the hardest things a coach has to do: creating a coherent system of play. We show coaches how to build a playing system that has matching elements (e.g., What goes well with a zonal 3 or 4 player defense? I want to play a dynamic attack – but what are the elements and how do I defend this way?). This seminar is geared toward coaches of players aged 12-adulthood.
