Flexibility is key for any successful soccer team. In back-to-back NCAA Elite 8 appearances, Butch Lauffer has utilized the 4-2-3-1 system which allows his teams tactical flexibility on the offensive and defensive ends of the field. In this DVD, Coach Lauffer demonstrates how this system can be adjusted for stronger defensive or offensive formations, the roles of the players, winning the ball, transition, angles of recovery, pass timing, and attacking. Coach Lauffer also shares several field exercises than can be used to develop the 4-2-3-1 for your team. Using this system will give your team greater flexibility, will help your team break down opponents, and win more games.
