Introduction

Welcome to the Fundamental Soccer Tactics: 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11 course! My objective is to teach you the main elements of these three game phases within US Soccer while giving you my unique perspective of various formations and principles of play that we use at Florida Prospects.

I introduce as well two PRO teams tactics in Man City and Liverpool from the last 1-2 seasons. You will also see insight into what positions represent each number and how to be WORLD CLASS at each specific position from my perspective. I hope you enjoy the course and I look forward to instructing you through!

Listen to Nik (who plays for an ELITE PRO academy in Europe) and his mother Keri talk about the methodology of myself and how it is similar to Europe's elite youth PRO clubs.

I encourage you to check out #ThePROJourney podcast through your favorite podcast application such as iTunes, Google Podcast, Anchor, Spodify etc. I discuss many elements discussing the Journey to become a PRO.

Make sure you download your MASTER Document - a PDF that highlights many elements discussed in this course covering 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11. It is in the download materials part of this Lecture.

In this video, you will learn the number system using a 2-3-1 (7v7), 2-3-3 (9v9) and 4-3-3 (11v11). The numbers are 1-11 and are based on field positions.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #1 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in this position.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #4 and #5 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in these positions.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #2 and #3 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in these positions.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #6 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in this position.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #8 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in this position.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #10 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in this position.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #7 and #11 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in these positions.

In this video, you will learn what it takes to be a WORLD CLASS #9 including Attacking, Defensive and 3 WORLD-CLASS attributes. I also provide an external link for you to watch a video of in my opinion a world's best performer in this position.

In this test, you will see how well you know the positions on the field.

In this video, you will learn about the effectiveness and importance of POSSESSION when developing future elite level of players. As well as why POSSESSION is NOT just about moving the ball, but to move the opposition to create opportunities to score.

In this video, you will see a live reference of the 2010 Prospects using possession effectively to create a goal-scoring chance from distance at a GOLD level bracket tournament at Disney World.

In this video, you will learn how KICKBALL is the Americanized version of the game, how it is effective in youth soccer; but at the same time is detrimental to the development of future elite level players as it represents a "WIN at ALL COST" approach.

In this video, you will see two different scenarios. The first is a two futsal teams playing against each other at a tournament, but notice how it almost looks like GOALKEEPER WARS. In the second part of the video, you will see a game between Brazil and Spain at the Futsal World Cup Final.

Hopefully, you will notice that kickball does NOT translate to the development of elite level players and that possession is the MOST effective tool for doing so. To reach the highest level of the game, players need extremely high technical and tactical skills that can be developed by possession.

In this video, you will learn the principles of a COUNTER ATTACKING system of play and how it can be extremely effective, especially in teams U16+ through the Professional game. Jose Mourinho is arguably the one who made counter-attacking football famous.

Test your knowledge regarding the 3 style of plays found within this course.

In this video, you will see a classic counter-attack scenario from Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich in the 2010 Champions League Final scored by Diego Milito.

In this video, you will learn the importance of going to watch PRO games. Coach Kyle in his youth would watch a minimum of 5 games in a week! PRO games are a great way for you to watch and look for the ideas and principles discussed in this course.

My weekly schedule included:

Tuesday: Champions League Game

Wednesday: Champions League Game

Thursday: Europa League Game

Saturday: Premier League Game (1-2)

Sunday: Premier League Game (1-2)

Learn the basic principles regarding the offside rule and how it works.

Part 2 - This segment is a bit more complicated in dives deeper into the offside rule to help you understand in and outs.

Test your knowledge regarding the offside rule.

In this video, you will learn how to use the APP Tactical Pad - which can be downloaded on iPhone, Android, iPads, tablets or computers. I show how to use it from a computer perspective. However, the system works similarly across all platforms.

This is important because you will learn to make your own formations and corner-kick plays. Make sure to pay attention. :)

In this video, you will learn the principles of the 2-3-1 formation at 7v7 and how I consider it to be the most effective 7v7 formation for developing a possession-based approach. 2-3-1 is my formation of choice at the 7v7 age as it emphasizes the use of width and depth.

In this video, you will learn how 3-2-1 formation could be effective by giving stronger defensive solidarity, and normally creating a numerical overload central (2v1) against the opposition single center-midfielder. However, you can struggle to create offensively, if the 3 defenders do NOT push up to join the attack.

In this video, you will learn my preferred formation when defending in 7v7. As most teams in this country, unfortunately, use KICKBALL as their primary method of attack; we need to have a counter-balanced formation to defend against it. You will see how in this video.

In this video, you will learn another 7v7 formation that can be extremely effective by putting 2 strikers against 2 defenders. Usually in this system, teams play MORE direct. That does NOT necessarily mean kickball (albeit it can), but it focuses on taking advantage of the numerical numbers against the opponent.

Test your knowledge about 7v7 soccer.

In this video, you will learn the Florida Prospects #1 corner kick play that we use at 7v7 to extreme effect.

In this video, you will learn our OPTION #2 from corner kicks that we give our players the option to use if #1 isn't applicable. This one has 3/4 options available once the sequence is started. It takes the longest to learn, but when done correctly is extremely effective.

In this video, you will learn our OPTION #3 from corner kicks that we give our players if option #1 and #2 isn't applicable.

Challenge yourself with this corner kick play test.

In this video, you will learn about the 2-3-3 formation in 9v9 and how it is my preferred formation as it builds perfectly into the 11v11 game. However, it can be the hardest to master for players that are new to 9v9.

In this video, you will learn my preferred 9v9 defensive formation as most opponents play 3-2-3 and I believe at this age, the best way to defend is to match the opposition's formation to make sure each opponent is covered. If our team wins their 1v1 battles, this provides us greater opportunity to win the game.

In this video, you will learn how to use the 3-2-3 formation in offensive phases of play and how to be effective. This is arguably the easiest formation to implement at 9v9 because it provides great defensive solidarity and ample attacking threat.

In this video, you will learn about the 4-3-1, which is a spin of the 2-3-3. The major difference is the starting position of the 'WINGERS' - who in this system play as '#2 or #3) and start deeper as they are connected with the two center-backs. It also means, they need to work harder to join the attack.

Test your knowledge of the 9v9 game.

In this video, you will learn about the 5 and 5 system that 11v11 teams use up to the PRO level and how it provides the greatest ability to prevent opposition counter-attacks and also create goal-scoring chances. This system does not mean that the players in the defensive 5 don't attack, no to the contrary, it just means they understand their responsibility of protecting their goal. They are still a critical element to the build-up of attacks.

In this video, you will learn the principle elements of the 4-3-3 playing formation and how it is my preferred starting 11 formation as it provides the greatest amount of balance and attacking threat.

In this video, you will learn how the 4-3-3 is a fantastic starting system that can easily transform into 2 different attacking elements in a 3-2-2-3 and a 3-4-3 which can be deadly to the opposition especially that are not as tactical aware or developed.

In this video, you will learn 2 more ways the 4-3-3 can easily transform into other tactical variants including the 2-3-2-3 and the 4-2-4 and they can extremely effective movements to counteract an opponent's defensive system.

In this video, you will learn about the 4-2-3-1 formation. This is the same formation that took the World by storm from 2009-2014. It is the same formation Jose Mourinho won the Champions League in 2010 with Inter Milan. It is an extremely effective formation that relies on the strength of the double pivots in center midfield.

In this video, you will learn about the 3-4-3 formation and it's various strengths and weaknesses. It can be extremely effective especially in central areas, as you can create numerical advantages, but can struggle to defend wide areas on counter-attacks and if this is the preferred defensive formation of a team.

In this video, you will learn about the 3-5-2 and the superiority it can create for the team in possession, especially from a central standpoint. However, it can be effectively countered if chosen to be the preferred defensive formation like the 3-4-3.

Challenge your knowledge of the 11v11 game.
