By providing feedback to his players in real time, you will gain a deep understanding of how Coach Entlich keeps the formation's shape and adjusts under simulated match conditions.
Positioning Forwards Defensively
Defending starts from the front. In the 2-3-3-2 formation, forwards are taught to retreat to a more central position to help support the midfielders. In this segment, Coach Entlich shows you how to use your forwards to fill passing lanes and shape an opponent's offense, creating devastating counterattacks.
Covering and Filling Space
The 2-3-3-2 formation allows for more creativity and freedom from players on attack and defense. Throughout the video, Entlich periodically stops play, demonstrating how increased communication and trust enables players to shift in and out of their position, playing aggressively, while still keeping their attacking or defending shape.
Organizing the Midfield
In the 2-3-3-2, midfielders must be organized and quick in their thinking to react swiftly to opponents and take advantage of opportunities to counterattack. Coach Entlich details how his midfielders are arranged while discussing the importance of staying organized and the traits his players must possess to be successful in this position.
Coach Entlich provides a great environment for you to observe the implementation of the 2-3-3-2 formation. With the training activities he runs, you'll learn to be creative and capitalize on the specific strengths of your team.

Building Relationships and Team Bonding

Communication is so important on the field, and Coach Entlich's strategies in this practice session encourage effective communication at all times. Players must adjust to changing situations and use appropriate language to motivate teammates to perform. Additionally, coaches will learn how to keep the entire team focused on the task at hand.

The average number of transitional moments is over 200 per game. It is important that coaches can translate this into their training sessions and replicate game situations.
In this video, Jay Entlich demonstrates how he teaches "recoverability" at CSU and what has made his team so successful. Throughout this video, Coach Entlich shows drills that will help your team not only develop better reactions in and out of possession, but create better technical players as well. Entlich provides in-depth explanations on the field to show different ideas and give players a more enjoyable training session.
Small Sided Games
Coach Entlich's small sided games will force your players to react with urgency in both attacking and defending moments of the game. You'll learn how to get the most out of your transition sessions as Entlich explains the teaching points he emphasizes during games:
- Which runs to make to exploit the opposition and create numbers up in the attack.
- How to quickly organize your teams for proper transitional play in and out of possession.
- What individual actions are needed from players during all phases of the game.
Practice Segments
You'll get a breakdown of two small sided games used at CSU. In the first segment, Coach Entlich begins by showing three fields of a 4v4 game and how to use this to teach players to support the attack and create numbers higher up the field. These drills can incorporate the entire team, including goalkeepers, in a competitive and yet dynamic environment. After a few rounds, Entlich switches the objective and shows how you can use the same game to address the defense and recovering behind the ball. The emphasis in these drills is that players develop a good foundation of what is expected of them in transition.
In the second segment, Coach Entlich progresses to an 8v8 with bumpers game. Here, he shows two variations you can do with your team that creates 4v3 counterattacking moments, or a normal game that includes goalkeepers that still incorporates transitional moments.
Coach Entlich shows you how he trains recoverability at CSU in both small and large groups of players. You will learn the importance of transitional moments, when to attack with pace, and how quickly your team needs to get in good defensive set positions when they lose possession of the ball.
