Soccer Deliver The Ball


This refers to completing a pass, especially a soccer pass that creates a scoring opportunity. (e.g., “He delivered a great ball”). (See “Soccer Create” & “Soccer Assist“).


Soccer Create


You hope your soccer players will learn how to “create”. This refers to creating scoring soccer opportunities. At higher levels, these players are very valued & often play CMF. For example, Carlos Valderrama & Marco Etcheverry are mid-fielders who “create” by great passing. These soccer players are said to have great “vision” to see the potential to create opportunities. The great Brazilian soccer player, Roberto Carlos, “creates” by making great “overlapping soccer runs” down the side line from his fullback position to send beautiful “crossing passes” to his forwards. (See “Assist” & “Vision“).


Soccer Assist


Refers to a soccer pass that results in a soccer goal (e.g., “He had 2 assists in the game”). It is very important to encourage soccer assists. One way to do so is by congratulating the soccer player who made the assist in front of the team. Also, the player who scored the goal should always thank his teammate who made the assist. Teach your players to do this & ask the scorer if he thanked his teammate for the assist. (See “Create” & “Deliver The Ball“).
