The Best Drill Set
This set of drills is the best from Coach Traugott’s 30+ years of experience working with every age group. With an “offense first” mindset, these drills are high-tempo, and easily understood, and each one works on multiple skills and tactics. Many drills have multipart progressions that build a foundation for coaches to expand and add complexity. Coach Traugott has used this drill set for multiple age groups and most of the drills are adaptable for players from U12 to U16.
