The objective of the game is to get forward and score goals, so we need to help our players learn to recognise when to dribble, when to pass, and when to shoot. When should you try and risk it? When should you try to be safe? What are the risks associated with each? With the 360 Player PDF, you will be introduced to theory and sessions, complete with coaching points. We start with looking at the concepts that are relevant within football. It helps coaches and players understand how the game works on its most basic level. I like to explain the cover shadow to players by using the metaphor of a solar eclipse. That came about after one day explaining it badly, and a player exclaiming "Oh! You mean like an eclipse!" Cover shadows are important when finding angles to combine with teammates. Next, we go into detail ...

These are free and can be downloaded here . These cards are great in their own right, but also work wonderfully in conjunction with our other stuff. There are three sets of cards, each coming with twenty-four different ideas. There are scenario cards, which paint the scene of a game. There are inflictions, which are cards that you can use to sabotage or inhibit a team or a player. There are rule cards, which change or reward a part of the game. Let's have a look. The scenarios provide for realistic situations that players might face in the real world. Rather than simply getting into a game at the end of training, why not put one team a goal or two ahead? Why not pretend it is the second leg of a Champions League game and away goals count double? This adds different dynamics to the matches, and has the players thinking in different ways. How would you play if you were 2-0 up in the cup final, but had a player sent off? The possibilities are endless. These cards can be expanded upon ...

Player challenge cards are a great way to make your practice games or your competitive matches more fun, and provide a deeper learning and engagement from the players. The samples you will see below are colourful, easy to read, and will appeal very much to football playing children. How does it work? That's up to you, really. Let's have a look with some pictures. This is the set of cards for the Barcelona men's team. There are eight players of differing positions, with always one keeper. Each player has a unique challenge, many of which are applicable to many positions. You can dish them out to the players yourself, or maybe let the players choose. Perhaps you can do it by position, or you can show everyone all the cards, and see who can complete the most challenges in any given game. We have picked sixteen men's teams and sixteen women's teams. They all have the correct colours and badges, and are up to date as of the begi...

We can help you with this. Within the PDF there are fixture lists and league tables for three, four, five, and six team tournaments. It helps to keep track of who has played who, and the number of points they have. Making practice competitive adds so much more pressure and realism, and when done in a safe and encouraging environment, the players thrive. There are six teams at different formats; 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 8v8, 9v9, and 11v11. How you split your teams is up to you. For example, if you have twenty four kids, you might want to do a four-way 6v6 tournament, or a three-way 8v8 tournament, or perhaps even a realistic practice match of 11v11. Each group is assigned a team, and we have helpfully matched the colours to the teams, aligning them with what bibs you may have available to you. There's ...
