How to take quick Soccer Throw-ins, Goal Kicks and Punts to get fast breaks.

If a player is afraid of contact, you will give up many goals if you play him or her at Fullback or Sweeper. Any player who is afraid of contact is at a disadvantage.

By "Style of Play" I mean do your Fullbacks "Push Up" when you attack or "Defend Deep", and do you play a "Possession Style" of attack, a "long-ball style", or a combination.

Teach your Fullbacks and Stopper to clear the ball by kicking it straight ahead - that way your Midfielders and Forwards will know what to expect and will shift with the ball so they are in position to win the ball.

The "Stopper" might be the most important position and where you play your most dominant player.
