Thank you for your question. To provide a clearer understanding, we've highlighted just three of the twelve methods commonly used with side connections. We plan to dedicate a separate tactical thread to this topic soon. We appreciate your support and feel free to ask any additional questions you may have.

Best regards,Tactx

We will cover all of the fundamentals, and these will be able to be applied to younger age groups in smaller sided games.

Kenneth De Heyn Got it, we will be in touch soon.

Kenneth De Heyn Hi! We are happy to set up a call if you want to discuss the IPP around different positions. Some movements are used more than others in certain positions but the core principles remain the same.

Please send us a direct message here or contact us at tactxcoach@gmail.com to discuss this further and/or schedule a call.

Adding talkovers to these practices later today.

A combined movement between two players. One player moving towards the ball and below the defensive line (short) and one player looking to move beyond the defensive line (long). 

Thank you for your message. We have resolved the issue with the video, and it should now be fine. I hope you enjoy Tactx.

Thank you for your question! As with any training approach, there are always trade-offs. When focusing on a specific outcome, you may need to prioritise certain elements over others.

This particular practice is designed to help players become comfortable with twisting and turning, while also giving the attacker multiple exit routes in a 1v1 duel.

The key to mastering these situations isn’t just recognising the available exits—it’s about learning how to manipulate the defender to create them. By developing this skill, players can gain a real advantage in 1v1 scenarios.

Give it a go and see how your players respond. Let me know how you get on!

Best, Tactx

Hi Bill. Apologies. We made an error in the background set-up. It should be all fixed now.

Love it. Thanks David.

It's one to use again. FAMILIARITY will take away the first few minutes as they adjust to the practice.
