Product Description
Modern soccer is distinguished by perfect ball and body control at top speed. For this reason training in movement and ball skills is becoming more and more important. Co-ordination skills are among those factors that determine performance in soccer. Only those players that master the relevant basic skills can achieve top performance later on. It is therefore the aim of every player to master body and ball in such a manner that he can react as appropriately as possible in various situations on the field. The work is divided into sections on technique (passing, dribbling, feinting and ball contact) and tactics (attack and defence). It describes numerous co-ordinative forms of play and training using the practice described. Ball handling is the focus point of the book.
