About this ebook
Independent parameters constituting the formations are relative positions of the players and distances between the players. The relative positions decide functions of a formation. Also decided are basic concepts of the football tactics that can be applied in a formation for fast break. To quantitatively discuss length of a formation, a personal defense area is modeled.
