Capabilities & Characteristics of the Players The purpose, vision, mission, short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals of the team. Football is played in specific areas and specific zones, so the training should not be general and unspecific – it must be specific and concrete. Those who want to succeed in all 4 phases of the game start with the fundamentals and basic principles, working through sub-principles step by step. How do we want to play football? This includes the style of play in every phase of the game. Before creating specific practices, we must first create our own ‘Game Model’ which will be our guide for the tactics and training of our team (see diagram below). The game itself is the guide, but not any game, it must be our own game – how we want to play from the moment we lose the ball and how we want to play from the moment that we win the ball. The objective creates the practices, but the talent of the players and the coach’s ability is what defines and differentiates the training. How can we make sure our training is game realistic?įor each training session we need to focus on meeting our targets we want to apply on the pitch.This helps our players and the team to apply exactly what we want from them on the pitch. This creates substantial training and gives us the results that we want – it is the most effective method to organise your team and work on specific match scenarios. My personal view is that good training has to be game realistic (taken from the game and for the game). To answer these questions, we must first look at what the appropriate training is. What is the best way to coach transition play?.How can you organise your training of transition play better?.Picture Peshmerga soldiers courtesy of How can you train for the transition phases? Always try to maintain 360 degree security.Some of the basic concepts to remember and practice: T-Formation, called the heavy-head, is good for travelling down hallways.

Diamond formations can be tightly packed in a hallway or spaced out widely in an open field. Here are some basic formations that units can group into A V Formation can transform quickly into a Serpertine Formation. This three man team can quickly change position depending on their needs The team leader can be at the front, middle or rear of the group. Larger groups can split up into two groups or more groups or remain as one group. Group spacing is dependent on the environment examples could be open and very hilly terrain, wide open plains or narrow hallways. The team leader can coordinate the rate and direction of travel. The area of responsibility is smaller for each team member. Traveling in Groups (3 or more people): The tactical concepts are the same for a large group as it is for a small group.Can split up and fight individually and harder to be tracked when split up. Partnered, Mutual Support: Each partner is responsible for their own security but they work together to attain 360 degree coverage.Each person’s area of responsibility overlaps with his partners. One partner provides left-side coverage while the other partner provides right-side coverage.

There is a left and right 180 degree coverage.
