Here’s a scoring drill I often use the day before a match (MD-1). Fast, competitive, and realistic. Players love it — and it hits dribbling, passing, finishing, and 1v1–3v3 play all in one. 🧵 TacticalPad® The Coaching Family SessionShare The Coaches Exchange Platform Breakthrough Soccer Rob Porter TheBeardedCoach Ray...

Possession Transfer Game 🔵 Team in possession, all four players in one box vs two 🔴 defenders, with two resting in the middle zone. Aim is to complete a set number of passes before transferring to a 🟢 filling the other three areas. If done successfully, the two 🔴 defenders resting go to press and the 4 🟢 players go to the same zone to repeat. The 🔵 players then look to fill the other 3 boxes to play out to. If possession is lost, the team who loses the ball swaps.

🔵 10v3 Possession with Finishing 📐 Set Up: Area: 30m x 20m 10 attacker's vs 3 defenders 4 mini goals positioned around the outside. Defenders split into 3 zones (top, left, and right). Attacking team must complete 4 consecutive passes before they can finish. ⚽ Explanation The attacking team works on maintaining possession under pressure while recognizing the right moment to attack. After completing the required passes, they can finish on the main goal. If the defending team wins possession, they immediately transition and attempt to score in any of the four mini goals. 🎯 Coaching Points ✔️Create width and depth to stretch defenders. ✔️Scan before receiving to play forward quickly. ✔️Use quick support angles and third man combinations. ✔️Play with the fewest touches possible when appropriate. ✔️Recognize the moment to accelerate from possession into attack. ✔️Immediate counter-press when possession is lost. Defenders communicate and press as a unit to force mistakes. #FootballCoaching #SoccerCoaching #CoachEducation #PlayerDevelopment #PossessionPlay #Transition #FootballTraining #UEFA #GameBasedLearning #TrainingSession Rod Wilhelm Dave Francis Lee Cosgrove Peter Prickett | TheBeardedCoach The Coaching Family Breakthrough Soccer The Sporting Resource Rob Porter Kevin Middleton | FootballGPT Jamie Birch SessionShare 𝗙𝗖𝗖 𝗛𝘂𝗯 | 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 Ross Whitehead Coach Luca Ray Power Coach Matt Bambrick Dave Kerr | Vibes FC John Mingus Footy_Coach_Canada Steven Ventura JUST COACH 205 Academy Zoglug UU™

🎯AFC Ajax 2v2 Defending the overlap runs in the final third. 🔵 Blue attacking | 🩷 Pink defending ✅Set-up: ✔️Create a wide channel using cones. Two blue attackers start with the ball against two pink defenders. ✔️Extra players wait behind each group and rotate after every action. ✅How it works: ✔️The first blue attacker receives and drives forward. The second blue player makes an overlapping run to create a 2v2. ✔️Blue tries to dribble or combine through the end line. Pink defends by delaying the ball, protecting the inside and tracking the overlapping runner. If pink win possession, they dribble through the opposite end line. ✅Coaching points: ✔️The first defender applies pressure and slows the attack. ✔️The second defender provides cover and tracks the overlap. ✔️Stay side-on to see the ball and runner, communicate early, avoid both defenders following the ball and recover quickly when beaten. #CoachingTips #Tactics #AFCAjax #FootballTraining Ray Power SessionShare 𝗙𝗖𝗖 𝗛𝘂𝗯 | 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 AFC Ajax UU™ Rob Porter Osku Partonen 205 Academy Breakthrough Soccer The Sporting Resource The Exchange Coach Jamie Birch Kevin Middleton | FootballGPT The Coaching Family JUST COACH

Up, Back and Through Possession 5v2 in the area in which the ball is. 🔵 Target is to get the ball from one end player to another. The ball must go through the central player on the line. The ball will either go into the central player, who will set to the run of one of the two wide players, or he will set back to the other midfielder who will again look for the run of a wide midfielder (Up, Back and Through). Both wingers will be on the outside lines of the half with the ball, when the ball is transferred the central player will move into the new area, one defender will follow into the other half and the two wingers will follow to create the 5v2.

Tadej Pogačar talks about how he trains in the winter or before his important one-day races: “I also don’t like too much explosive stuff. And when the coach puts just riding and ten sprints at the beginning and ten in the end or something. This is the worst training, you know what I mean? In the winter, I just love just zone 2, 5-6 hours. Especially when you’re just going alone and do a big loop or something. I really love this, keep the power high. You come home a bit tired and wrecked but. Also, you go all day fast, feeling so good to do it. But then in the summer or before the big one-day races, I like to do six hours again, quite high pace through the day. Behind the motor 1-1.5 hours. Push it a little bit and then some explosive into the last hour. This is like one of the favorite trainings.” 🎥:

COACHES: This is another HUGE pet peeve of mine. Players trying to do it all themselves and making a potential rush opportunity into a 1v1. The higher the level you play, the less likely a player will beat a defender 1v1. Especially on the rush. I see so many kids try to do it themselves - and if the kid is talented enough at the younger ages it potentially may work out. But as players advance to higher and higher levels, you rarely see anybody try to beat a defender 1v1. And even more rarely do you see anybody actually beat a defender 1v1. I see so many coaches rewarding kids at the younger ages for taking the puck from one end of the ice to the other and scoring. While it's great that a number goes on the scoreboard, you are doing a disservice to the kid's development. Because if that kid doesn't learn the value of passing and using their teammates, at some point this clip is going to happen to them. A LOT. And that player will eventually get passed by the kids that learned to play the right way with their teammates. On this clip the ANA player tries to do it all himself and the puck goes the other way and eventually ends up in the back of his net. It's hard enough to beat one person 1v1 in high level hockey, let alone skating the puck through multiple defenders. So coaches, please emphasize the value of using your teammates. I see this type of play SO OFTEN in youth hockey. Passing, hockey sense, playing with your head up, using your teammates...these skills translate to the next levels. Doing it yourself, even if it works as a young player, does not.

After 19 years in coaching, I stepped away this spring to spend more time with my family. I loved coaching. I didn’t love how much time it took away from everything else. That’s a big reason I built ONE MORE. An AI assistant that learns how YOU coach and helps turn what’s in your head into something you can actually use, in a fraction of the time. The goal is simple: help coaches coach at a high level without letting coaching consume their lives. Here’s a 30-second look at what we’re building 👇 I’m opening the first wave of beta testing now. If you’re interested in being one of the first coaches to try ONE MORE, fill out the form below or shoot me a DM!!

Arne Slot has openly questioned the idea that coach development is only validated through formal courses. He finds it ridiculous that Continuous Professional Development is measured by certificates and classroom hours, while the countless hours spent actually coaching, learning on the pitch, solving real problems, and developing players often go unrecognized. For Slot, real learning happens in the day to day coaching, not just in a course environment.

I'm totally floored. In all of my years working in high school sports, I have never received a gift quite like the one I got today. My wife ran into the house this afternoon and shared this video, which players and coaches of Section 1 girls basketball created. We watched it as a family. We all had tears in our eyes. My daughters are 11 and 9, and I bring them to HS basketball games a lot. It's not just to expose them to the game so they can learn Xs and Os. I genuinely believe the community of girls playing the sport in Section 1 right now are true role models. My girls idolize players like Sophie Nascimento and Cadence Nicholas, and I want my girls to grow up and be just like them - as much off the court than on it. These players, regardless of school rivalries or AAU programs support each other in a way I just don't see in any other sport. It's a special era. And I'm grateful to be a small part of it. Thank you to Julia Scott and coach Pat Buckley of Albertus Magnus for organizing this video, and all of the girls and coaches who took the time. I don't think any of them truly understand how much it means. I love you all.
