Coaching Attack for Younger Players
Neil Harmon
Coaching Attack for Younger Players Teaching younger players the correct attacking skills can be a difficult task, in many ways more difficult than coaching defence. Luckily you have a number of factors on your side; not least that playing a good attacking game is a much more positive game plan than a defensive one.

Young players are also more likely to be keen attackers, with their energetic and ambitious personalities. . . . keep reading

David Griffiths

Here's what our members are saying ...
"Hi Neil

I have found the information on your site very useful. I have recently used the 'Drop Out' drill with my senior team to improve their drop outs. The hang time is now longer and more accurate as we are now putting the ball from the restart into the oppositions 22.

Keep up the good work."
