WYSL Coaching Clinic "Systems of Play". Sat April 10 8am to Noon.
The WYSL Coaching Academy is offering a coaching clinic to interested WYSL coaches in understanding and implementing Systems of Play. Malcolm Brown and Carlos Mejia of the WYSL Coaching Academy will be instructing the topic on Saturday April 10th at White Plains High School. This clinic will help new and established coaches understand and define the most common systems of play for full field soccer (11v11), and small-sided soccer (indoor 6v6 and outdoor 8v8). Each system and its variations are explained with the basic line-up, typical defensive, transitional and attacking situations, including positions anddevelopment of plays.
This clinic is not meant to treat each system in great depth. Rather it is designed to give the coach a tool firstly to decide which system to pick for the team and then provide enough information to get started and adapt. The idea for clinic quite frankly came from feedback we received from all the coaches.
“ I have never coached full field; how do I line up my team?” or “I am playing a 3-5-2 and am concerned about my defense; any advice?”
Details are as follows:
