Click on the video link below for some highlights of British Premier League games. Parents, please let your players check out the video for examples of the sort of attacking play away from the ball that I will be trying to get our teams to understand. Be sure they notice what the players away from the ball are doing.
Obviously that first goal is a beautiful example of a confident player being willing to challenge every defender between himself and the goal. I want every one of our players to feel they have the skills and the permission to do just that when they see the opportunity.
In the next few clips I want you to pay attention to the way the players away from the ball are reacting to and anticipating the action of their teammate with the ball. See how they get scoring opportunities by actively maintaining spacing. By resisting the urge to crowd the ball they aren't being passive, rather they are actively mounting the attack and setting up the opportunity to strike.
