In this course, Coach Barry Elkins, head women’s soccer coach at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, breaks down a handful of drills your team needs to do in order to become efficient problem solvers on the field and transition into a scoring position. These drills will teach your team to think quickly and make the right plays no matter what kind of situation they are in on the field. If you are a coach who wants to help your team get into a scoring position, then this is the course for you!

We are providing this drill to give you ideas on how to enhance your current practice drills. The idea is not to implement it exactly as is, but rather to tweak it to make it fit your system.

coached Capital to their first NCAA Tournament victory in school history (2017);
NSCAA Premier Diploma holder (highest diploma offered through the NSCAA); associate staff coach for the NSCAA;

Alan Yost and his Capital men’s soccer team qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2017 and became the first team in program history to win a game in the tournament. Yost’s 5-3-2 defensive formation contributed to his team’s success thanks to its ability to quickly take advantage of the counterattack.

This video from Coach Yost will help you teach your players to be successful in the 5-3-2 through a series of drills and games that focus on the technical and tactical buildup of the formation. Yost includes play diagramming and game highlights to help illustrate each teaching point he makes. The 5-3-2 is especially effective at keeping the opponent out of your critical scoring areas while enabling an effective counterattack through transition to finish.
