Tactical Development: Progressive Coaching for Teams and Coaches (VHS Video)

Developed by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), Tactical Development: Progressive Coaching for Teams and Coaches is a blueprint for teaching a system of play throughout all levels of a soccer club or organization. At each stage, the program builds on previously learned and mastered individual and team tactics so that players are fully immersed in one consistent style of play. Especially useful for coaches of multiple age groups, Tactical Development yields more effective long-term results because players are optimally challenged at each level. By expanding players' knowledge and experiences each season, yet focusing on one overall system of play, coaches promote individual growth as well as a cohesive team approach to the game. Through on-field action and computer graphics, players will learn the responsibilities and possibilities of positions in the diamond formation, which are applicable regardless of the number of players on a team. The Tactical Development video is an excellent coaching tool for all ages in teaching a consistent, effective way to play the game. 6/11/2004 copyright, 55 minutes.
