Attacking drills help young, developing soccer players understand what it takes to successfully bring the ball up the field and take advantage of opportunities to shoot and score. Small-sided games, in particular, are a great way to develop and grow the kind of quick decision-making, communication and strategy necessary to succeed in the actual game.
