I'm very pleased to share the english translation of my UEFA Pro course thesis, titled "Occupying spaces and positional fluidity: from positional play to associative-relational play": drive.google.com/file/d/1MVr… The Italian version can be downloaded at the following link: figc.it/media/246820/contran… #uefa #uefapro #thesis #tactical #football #calcio #positional #relational #coach #figc #allenatore

🥅 Goalscoring: Get in Front 2 forwards in circle, feeders call cone → lead & shoot, partner hunts rebounds. Prog: each cone = diff finish (roll & flick, reverse, FH, backspace). Focus: sharp leads, body shape to receive, quick release, react to 2nd phase. #Hockey

1v1s are fun. Blah blah, yes they’re statistically poor ect but so many great moments or games are decided on 1v1 finishing moments

When @andreuenrich releases a book, I don’t ask questions. I just buy it. This looks like another gem!!! Really excited to get into it.

@andreuenrich - loving the book so far. The chapter on pitch sizes for games (8v8 -> 4v4 ect) some of the descriptions I’m finding hard to follow. Is there a diagram you can share for those reading the book?

Tried these types a few times. Never quite got it right but I’ll keep trying! The evenness of the teams was always a big factor

Done something similar - the 4 outside goals were gates and dribbling through them let you attack the two central, back to back goals. 7v7 in a half pitch. Worked ok.
There’s no single way to score in football. Sometimes, the path to goal is longer. At the youth level, we should encourage players to explore different, even unpredictable, ways to reach the goal.

This could work for Hockey! I feel this is an advanced level game. Thinking you play for periods of time, keep score. Not an easy one, but another twist on multi-directional play.

Considerations for this type of thing I’ve found are: 1) if they start doing it well, change it. 2: make passes longer than you “think”. Encourage a hard few steps of ball carrying. 3: after first progression, ask them if it’s working. They will tell you.
Pass/receive: Y progression 3 for 1 'Y' shaped pass/receive patterns. Starting with a very simple 3 pass pattern, each sequence then builds in difficulty, adding an additional pass each time and all ending with a shot on goal.

Wonder if this would work for Hockey. I mean, or you could just do this anyway regardless of sport. Most people can kick a ball….

Fun!! Might throw this in the u14/16 session this Friday. Maybe the seniors too. Be interesting to note some differences

I can see this being fun and a laugh for teams - turn it into a race somehow?

What a moment this was. I remember watching the game and cheering very loudly when he scored.

Can see this happening for hockey. Horizontal accross maybe 3/4 of a ‘25? Converting soccer concepts to Hockey exercises I’ve found usually needs slightly more space but can work well.
4v2 Rondo, striving to find the opportunity to play beyond a screening player / transition the ball into the other Rondo. To support the transition a player can drop into the central zone, either to progress the ball or to occupy the defender and be bypassed. @TacticalPad
