When I previously coached with a Positionist methodology I would often demand that players take as few touches as possible in exercises like this 6v6+3. This is because I wanted perceptual emphasis to be on ball progression via passes between occupied zones.

Obviously the more Positional you coach, the more positional your team will play. This is because there are very clear and tangible differences between tactical paradigms like Positionism and Relationism.

Keep an eye on the season. 👀 Introducing our latest feature: the standings. Now you can see live on your server which team is how in the league compared to other teams.

Wondering what your opinion would be on swapping the word possible for necessary there Jamie? Minor detail but feel it helps players understand that the best solution isn’t always 1/2 touch and helps them to feel comfortable staying on the ball and inviting/escaping pressure.
