Frequently asked questions

What kinds of football drills are there?

The library is organised into goalkeeping, technique (passing, control, dribbling, finishing, heading), tactics (possession, rondos, pressing, transitions, small-sided games), fitness (speed, coordination, agility, warm-up), psychology and general drills.

How do I pick the right drill for my team?

Use the age, level and number-of-players filters to see only drills that fit your group. Each page lists the equipment and space needed and offers progressions and regressions to raise or lower the difficulty.

Can I print or share the drills?

Yes. Every drill has a print view and a public link you can share with your coaching staff. You can also add it to a training session.
