Video for coaching soccer positions and formations

If you are looking for some help with coaching soccer formations, I found this really cool training video for soccer formations. It's really useful.

It shows you the most common formations used in soccer; 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-5-2 and 4-5-1. The video shows how each formation is constructed and the positions the players need to take up. It also tells you the names of each position within each formation. It also has a brief description of the formation along with the benefits of that particular formation. Very good stuff.

There is a good voice-over too explaining the formations and how they work.

Another good feature is if you click on a position, there is a quick guide to what that player is expected to do and the attributes they need. But the really cool thing is that it then shows you some typical plays. What that position should do and how they interact with other players in different positions. It even shows how the defence should move together as a unit! Great stuff.

Take a look at theses videos about soccer formations and tell me what you think.
