13 Systems of play Establishing the best system of play for your team A system of play will not win you a game, but it will help promote your team s best assets and give you the opportunity to perform at a higher level week-in and week-out. Here s a checklist to help you decide which is the best system of play for your team and how to establish it: CAREFULLY EVALUATE YOUR PLAYERS Look at your team and pinpoint where their strengths and weaknesses are. Which players are key to your success and where do they perform most effectively. All these questions can help you come to a decision on your best system. CONSULT YOUR ASSISTANT It is always important to get the views of others who are working with you, so they feel part of the decision-making and help give you views that you may have not considered. CONSULT YOUR PLAYERS Empower players to provide feedback on how the team should be set up. This is important as they will be implementing the system and must believe it is the correct way for the team to play. There are 6 main considerations for establishing a system of play : 1 Develop a system around key players Most important to place these players in a system that can utilize their qualities the most 2 Establish your long-term plans 3 Where would you like the team to be in a years time after using this system of play consistantly? Overall philosophy - ask the team and parents what your overall team philosophy should be 4 Set short-term goals. Provide players with achievable short term goals which progress towards a long term objective 5 Try to anticipate modifications. Develop a system that could be modified and changed easily on a game-by-game basis 6 Be prepared to make adjustments during a game When establishing your system of play there are a multitude of factors to take into consideration such as: i) Fitness ii) Opponents strengths and weaknesses iii) Weather and field conditions iv) The stage of a game v) The state of a game vi) Importance of a game

14 Systems of play Establishing the best system of play for your team Here are some key factors to consider when deciding your system of play and player positions to maximize your system. How to organize your team Key considerations: 1. Who are your key players? 2. Who will score the goals? 3. Who will stop the goals? 4. Who will create the scoring chances? Each player needs to know their job or responsibility in the team, and the way in which they should be trying to play. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself about your team and players. Q. How will the back defenders play? Attacking or defensively minded, short or long passing, man marking or a zonal system? Q. How will the midfield operate? Who will be the play-maker or ball winner? Do you want the wide players to cross the ball or run inside? Q. Who will be the forwards? How will they play, to feet or into the space behind the defense? Q. Flexibility of players positions? Can your players understand how to interchange their positions without it affecting the system of play? Q. What type of team defending are you going to use? A high pressure defending game with a high line of confrontation. Or a low pressure counter attacking system with a low line of confrontation? What would make you change the teams system of play? i) A lack of success players are not proficient enough to operate the system you would like. ii) Injuries key players are not available. iii) New players may add something to the team that you must utilize and change the system to maximize their qualities.

15 Systems of play Strengths and weaknesses of different formations In the modern game of soccer there are many different systems of play and formations that teams use to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. There is no right or wrong system of play. The most common system that professional teams use throughout the world is the system. This system has become a staple choice for many teams due to its versatility. It can be easily modified to an attacking or defensive system. It is simple to coach and for players to understand their roles and responsibilities within the formation. It also fulfills the main principles of attack (width & depth) and defense (cover & compact). The formation comprises of: keeper) - 2 central and two full-backs. e.. wards - playing close together. Modifying the roles of players within the 4-4-2: Forwards Midfielders Defenders The can be quickly modified either before or during a game into slightly different formations. Here are a couple of examples of how it can be altered. Diamond Midfield: One central midfielder supports the forwards. The other central midfielder is more defensive and protects the 4 defenders. Forward In The Hole: The forwards play one high up the field and the second forward dropping deeper In The Hole to support the midfield. Here are some additional formations that derive from the 4-4-2, with their advantages and disadvantages: 4-3-3: 3 central midfielders play close together. The 3 forwards play spread out. Full backs can attack and join into the midfield to create a formation. Advantage: Pushing up an extra player from midfield into attack allows more attacking possibilities. Disadvantage: You can get out numbered in midfield if the opposition is playing 4 in midfield. The 3 midfielders should play narrow, but this can restrict width in midfield areas : 5 midfielders with a holding player in a withdrawn defensive position. Two wide midfielders and two central who counter attack and join up with the lone attacker as quickly as possible. Advantage: This is a very strong defensive counter attacking formation. Disadvantage: Less attacking potential, as the lone forward can get isolated from the rest of the team : 3 central defenders. 5 midfielders, one in a defensive role, and 2 forwards. Advantage: With 5 in midfield you can overwhelm the opposition and win possession much easier. Disadvantage: Teams can attack the wide areas down the sides of the 3 central defenders. Your two wide midfielders must have both speed and great endurance. They must both attack when team has possession and drop back and defend as fullbacks when possession is lost.
