Building on "The Art of Defending Part I" which handles 1v1 through 8v8 play, this is a fantastic book for youth soccer coaches that are teaching those age groups that can grasp and employ tactical concepts (U12 and up, IMHO). Harrison breaks down defending into "phase play practices" that deal with defense in the defending, middle, and attacking thirds of the field respectively. Naturally the drills/short-sided games work well for teaching offense as well...I use the "Regaining Possession in the Attacking Third" games to also teach building the attack from the back. This and Harrisons other books are worth the money.
