Developing Attacking Play
The complete guide to coaching dynamic, creative, and ruthless attacking football.
"Attacking sessions to help develop attacking play for coaches of any experience or ability."
Whether you are developing a youth team or fine-tuning an elite squad, this comprehensive manual provides the drills, tactics, and insights to transform your team into a goal-scoring machine — used by academy and first-team coaches worldwide.
Possession
Possession with Purpose
Train your team to keep the ball intelligently and exploit defensive gaps — building possession that is purposeful, progressive, and designed to create genuine attacking opportunities.
Penetration
Breaking Lines
Master vertical passing, third-man runs, and penetrating opposition blocks — the movements and combinations that break defensive lines and create the space needed to attack in behind.
Wide Play
Wing Play & Overloads
Develop crossing, cutbacks, and 1v1 dominance to stretch defences and create overloads in wide areas — giving your attackers the tools to dominate the flanks and deliver from dangerous positions.
Transition
Transition Attacks
Turn defensive recoveries into lightning-fast counters with structured movement patterns — exploiting the moments when the opposition is disorganised and space opens up in behind.
Finishing
Finishing Under Pressure
Clinical drills to develop composure, technique, and decision-making in front of goal — position-specific exercises tailored for strikers, wingers, midfielders, and full-backs in realistic game scenarios.
Who it's for: Coaches of any experience or ability · Youth team and academy coaches · Senior and elite coaches wanting to sharpen attacking play

Aristos P. 4/5
Enjoyed the idea of including transition into finishing. It's a trade of for me in realism and repetition. But this does provide an interesting though behind using Xg as an approach to creating practice

The way you communicate with your customers is terrible. I will never order anything again. The book arrive last saturday. It took a month to deliver it which I think is too long. My son ordered because of that an e-book for his birthday so he got his present and last saturday the original gift. It now cist me twice as much to give my son a present for his birthday.
