Try "2 Team Keepaway." It teaches fast transitions. Just play it for 2 minutes (time it) -- play 3 games and switch up the teams to make it competitive.

Also, play the "Shoulder Tackle" game -- it's more of a teaching exercise.

Have you played "Chips/Lofted Passes" (this one is VERY important to teach how to clear the ball) and "Passing Pairs" ?

Think about is how to teach "Passing To Space" instead of "Passing To Feet" -- START out by teaching "Passing To Space" as opposed to "Passing To Feet" -- it's a different way of thinking. THIS IS HUGELY IMPORTANT -- YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW IT WILL HELP YOUR ATTACK. See "23 Of The Best Tips" ((http://soccerhelp.com/premium/Best_Tips_Tactics.shtml ) numbers 19 and 20 for how to teach this.

A warning: Travel teams will recruit your players. The irony is that you are already or will soon be a better coach than most travel coaches. Many win by recruiting the best, most aggressive athletes. Continue to emphasize the fundamentals, hustling, winning the ball and having fun.
