Counter attacking, the art of modern counter attacking, is a relatively new concept in our country and needs to be taught, practiced and mastered to join the elite teams in the soccer world. Coach Lauffer dedicates this DVD to the modern concepts of counter attacking. Lauffer defines counter attacking as "an attack in response to an opponents attack." This part of the game is not yet appreciated in the United States. Practices are conducted with two goalkeepers in a 20 by 50 yard field. Defenders are coached to pressure or trap the ball in certain areas of the field to gain possession of the ball. This practice is a continuous game creating an attacking mentality for the players. Midfield pressing is diagrammed and discussed with regards to the developing pressure pockets and points. The goal is for defenders to win the ball and move forward at speed. The 9 v 9 (7 v 6) + (2 v 3) game has many excellent features as well. This DVD includes practice footage that will reinforce the white board presentations. Soccer coaches can get 'ahead of the game' by incorporating countering attacking into their teams.
