We received the following letter from a subscriber:

Hi SoccerHelp,

I love the site and tell all my fellow coaches about it. I have question regarding an element of the game that I don't know if it is addressed anywhere on your site. For lack of a better word I'll call it the transition game or tactics and skills to get the ball out of your end and start an attack or at least maintain possession out of your own defensive third. We were in a game a week ago where we (midfield and forwards) couldn't gain and/or hold possession on cleared balls from our defense.

Sincerely,

Coach Matt
