Course Content & Focus: 

This course builds on the Phases of Play series that began in summer 2025. The focus of this installment is the organized attacking phase of the game — what happens when a team is in possession. Coaches will gain insight into how teams build and construct attacks, with specific analysis of Red Bull New York's tactical approach to advancing the ball and creating chances. 

The workshop will be held in conjunction with a Red Bulls Major League Soccer match versus D.C. United. Prior to the match, course attendees will participate in a 90-minute workshop delivered by William ""Shap"" Shapiro and Artjon ""Tony"" Dibra. The course will also include a pre-match discussion with a member of the RBNY First Team coaching staff and observation of the warm-ups. To conclude, a halftime match analysis debrief will be conducted. 

Please note: course does not come with a soccer ball
