New Collection: Three v Three with Peter Prickett

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Peter Prickett, who specialises in three v three games and models.

Together, we are building a comprehensive collection based on the three v three game, complete with practices, booklets, and classes covering the coaching and application of the model. The three v three format has been introduced in the UK and provides a brilliant foundation for any group of players, developing the connections that run throughout the game at every level.

Technical Practice One is now live, and we will release new practices daily before bringing everything together into a collection.

New Technical Practice: Playing Around | Practice 1 

The next chapter is here.

Our previous practices focused on coaching playing through when building up. We now move on to giving coaches the tools to work on playing around with their players.

First up, a technical practice showing patterns of play when using a back four with the goalkeeper. Simple, clear, and a great starting point for the collection to come.

Available for subscribers now.

New Game Practice: Playing Out and Through | 7v7 Back Three 

Now we're starting to bring it all together.

This 7v7 game practice focuses on the central positions and building relationships between players to play through with a back three. If you have been working through the technical and skill practices, this is where you will start to see those building blocks take shape in a more complete environment.

New Game Practice: Playing Out and Through | 6v6 Back Three 

The latest game practice is now live for subscribers.

The 6v6 is conditioned to encourage build-up play with a back three, with scenarios that replicate what players will face on matchday. As always, we recommend pairing it with the technical and skill practices on the same topic to get the most out of the session.

In Case You Missed It 

Evening everyone,

We have started turning some of our daily discussions into weekly blog posts.

A lot of interesting topics come up between us that we can't always turn into content, so this felt like the right way to share them. Our latest post looks at some of the data we have compiled over the years on 1v1 practices and why the simplest actions sometimes have the greatest effect.

New Game Practice: Playing Out and Through | 5v5 Back Three

If you are playing a back three, this one is for you.

The 5v5 game practice is built specifically for coaches running a back three and works best alongside our technical and skill practices designed for the same system. We recommend pairing it with technical practice 6 onwards and skill practice 6 onwards to get the most out of the session.
