Tactics Soccer Drills

Knowing how best to utilize your team’s strengths, exploit your opposition’s weaknesses and create your own style of play is all controlled by tactics. Deciding where players stand, where they should run and how they should play the ball are all key tactical decisions that can define whether a game is won or lost.  

Use the tactics drills on Cupello to help you find the winning formula for your team. Coach your player's various ways of playing the ball, maximizing goal-scoring opportunities, and the organization needed to prevent conceding. By ensuring that your team has a tactical understanding and can adapt to different situations will make your team resilient, giving your players the confidence to beat any opposition they may face.

Soccer Coaching Tips

Which formation fits best with your tactics? 1-3-2-1 at 7v7, 1-3-4-1 at 9v9 and 1-4-3-3 at 11v11.

Work with your goalkeeper and defenders to play out from the back so your team has possession.

You need tactics for defending as well as attacking – make sure all your players know what to do.
