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.

Good question. I think there are two parts to it.The cues/triggers to initiate or chain the press can be fairly simple: a poor pass, bad first touch, backwards pass, receiving with a closed body shape, ball travelling into a certain area etc.

The bigger piece for me is the strategy behind which press you use and when. That could be based on your own team’s strengths, but equally on an opposition weakness you’ve identified and where/how you want to regain the ball.In terms of training it, numbers and space available can dictate a lot.

You might not always have the numbers to replicate the full press, so you can isolate certain relationships or units and work on the key behaviours before building it into a larger game.

So the trigger starts the action, but the strategy determines which press we’re trying to chain into and why.

Thanks, Nathan. 

Of course. We will ping you once we know it's coming in an upcoming class.

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.
