Improving Your Team's Possession Play Item Code: 1053 Price: $30.00 each ($27.75 for SoccerROM Members) Quantity:  Every coach wants their team to keep the ball. Every weekend you can hear coaches begging their team to, "Keep Possession!" and "Don't Give the Ball Away!". This book will help you teach your team to retain more possession and turn that possession into scoring opportunities. Improving Your Team's Possession Play will show you how to create practices that will train your players to support the player on the ball and create passing opportunities with the appropriate movement. The book is divided into five sections: Concepts, Explanations, Exercises that Teach the Concepts, How Runs in the Match Reshape Left/Right/Split Support, and Why Training is Done with 5v5 or Larger Small-Sided Games. "Concepts" details the key ideas that are necessary to understand to teach your team how to maintain possession. The section on "Explanations" provides you with a detailed breakdown of each of the concepts including Left/Right/Split Support, Sharpening, Open Body Shape, and First Touch. In "Exercises That Teach the Concepts", specific examples of ways to teach the concepts to your team are discussed. They begin as very basic practices and progress to involve larger groups so that the players can incorporate what they have learned to the larger game. "How Runs in the Match Reshape Left/Right/Split" examines how a team keeps its shape during the flow of the game. Finally, "Why Training is Done with 5v5 or Larger Small-Sided Games" discusses the best environments to use to train your players to understand the movements and shapes that help a team to maintain possession of the ball.
