This quick scoring game is perfect to finish of your preparation/warmup routine. A fun game with lots of opportunities to score. Having two goalkeepers who alternates is a plus since it can get exhausting otherwise.

⚽ Sunday Drill

Wave Attacks – 1v1 → 3v3

Coach feeds new balls and the game builds:
1v1 → 2v1 → 2v2 → 3v2 → 3v3

Great for:
✔ transitions
✔ decision making
✔ attacking overloads

Fast, chaotic and realistic.

Todays #SundayShare is a simple but effective Quickfire 1v1 Drill.

Lots of twists and turns and a great opportunity to coach both attacking and defending in a 1v1.

Latest features of the app going live this weekend.
New effect, Shimmer, giving a nice shimmering feeling to example boxes. We also have animated arrows that grow from bottom up.
We also have a really cool new effect that zooms in on your object of choice in an animation. Nice!

After a long time of focus on building from the back in pro football it seemed to change recently.
Should it in youth football too?

Scenario:
Goalkeeper under high press.

Do you coach:
A) play out every time
B) go long when pressure is high?

@Coach__Luca We record our matches with Veo.
I let my players watch it and ask them for their analysis of how for example our Build-up play worked or how we did converting possession to goalscoring opportunities. Makes em watch football in a different way to their normal highlights reels.

I saw todays Pass & Receive #sundayshare a couple of years ago and really liked it. It´s originally taken from Tottenham U16 coach Joe Staunton and focuses heavily on passing/receiving/movement/body position and is perfect for fast moving CM's.

If it took 20 seconds to create it,
don’t waste it in one careless touch.
How do you train your players to value those moments?

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

The ball in the opposition penalty area is a luxury item. 🧵
It’s expensive to earn.

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

Yet when we arrive, youth players often:
• rush the shot
• force the pass
• ignore better angles
As if the moment is cheap.

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

One of the best things about youth coaching on here is this:

Someone shares an idea.
Someone tweaks it.
Someone adapts it.

And players benefit.

That’s how it should be.

@PedMenCoach @teamzoneapp @SundayShare10 One small adjustment I made for my group:
I added a 5-second transition rule after the 2v1 to make the counter more matchlike.

Forces faster desicions.

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

Todays #SundayShare is 2v1 that turns into a 3v2+GK that I saw shared by @PedMenCoach earlier in the week. I liked it and created my own version of it!

It’s not complicated:

You want to improve scanning?

Create situations where what they see actually matters.

Otherwise, you’re just rehearsing movements—not improving players.

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

@BernatME6 Rondos are a great tool and should be used extensively.

However, I think that if you rethink the old traditional passing sequence and add variation depending on scanning, pressure and movement then scripted passing exercises has its place too.

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

Youth coaching is about development.
Not trophies. Not ego.

Adults need to set their pride aside.
The game belongs to the players.

@SundayShare10 Appreciate the share 🙌
Always great to see youth coaching ideas circulating.

[Thomas Emilson @CoachEmilson]

Todays #SundayShare is a quick pass and move which then turns into a 2v2 with finishing on goal with a goalkeeper.

Perfect to end your warmup session in a fun but yet purposeful way!
