Tactical

The modern game of soccer requires all players to possess multiple skills to successfully play the game. Defenders are now asked to enter the attacking third of the opponent’s side to supply much needed attacking support. It is clear that modern forwards are also asked to play a larger role in the defensive strategies of their teams. Simply said, the modern player has to be more complete than ever before in the history of soccer.

Each player must understand his/her tasks when entering the field. Players will work together in groups (defenders, midfielders, forwards) since groups must be able to connect with each other when attacking/defending. Our methods will focus on each and every position.

What is expected of the individual player in a certain position? How can players of a group (line) work together to get the required results (defenders winning the ball and starting the attack)?
How are the groups (lines) connected to each other to dominate the game (defenders interacting with midfielders and forwards)?

SportpartnersUSA will provide Tactical Training programs for coaches and players through the Rene Meulensteen Academy (RMA).
