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.

New Game Practice: Playing Out and Through 

We recommend using this practice with the technical and skill practices as part of a wider session. The practice uses the scenarios from these practices in game situations where you can see it all come together if you want to build with a back three. 

You will notice we encourage the coaches to play a ball straight in when the ball goes out of play, or a goal is scored. This keeps the flow of the practice and encourages the players to adapt to a different phase of the game (for example, attacking organisation into defensive transition).

New Content: Build Up Play & The Defensive Midfielder 

Three new pieces are live, and they tie together nicely and are available for subscribers.

Technical practices seven and eight continue the build-up play series, with each one adding another layer to the collection we have been putting together across the playing out and through theme.

Alongside that, we have published a blog on the in possession phase of the defensive midfielder. If Rodri's performances in the World Cup have caught your attention, this one is worth your time. It sits within a broader set of blogs that reflect the education and game model that runs through everything we do at Tactx.
