What a video! I’m doing this for tomorrow’s practice. This is what I’ve been missing, thank you!

[Scousetiger]

Thanks. I'm definitely going to try these as my team can struggle to combine with each other.

[maherkhaleel]

Will definitely be putting this into practice.
Great video Coach! 💥

I just implemented dedicated runs w my team last weekend and we won 5-1. Gonna try and use some of these attacking patterns this week.

Hey, great video, it always good to see how others do things. Can I ask you when you do the training and you start with 7 Vs 0 what do you do with the other 3/4/5 players

[tjlyricz]

We have most of these combinations. And some more direct ones. But rather than have them as “patterns of play” I coach them as options.

Imo this gives them structure but also they know they have flexibility within a certain frame work.

Absolutely loving the videos, really appreciate. This season my 9/10u will be playing 8v8. I intend to run a 2-3-2 following the same principles and patterns but am curious of your thoughts on the 9 & 10s roles with the additional player. I figure they would follow the same rule of don’t cross the half way line, and really just gives our 6 one more option

[MikeBaas]

Welp, now I know what I'm doing next month. Thanks!

What a great resource you are getting ready for fall season, 9 v 9 u12 have found how I want to play but struggled with 7 v 7 I love your patterns, practices your very thorough 🙌🏿🏆

I’m currently coaching a 12u team with a “star player“ so I have the opposite problem (in core AYSO, so recreational league). I’m really trying to work with him to focus on other things than just goal scoring this year. He’s totally a player that can just dribble though and score without help from his team. He’s in 12u so this strategy still works, but I’ve seen too many players like this over the years that don’t do well once they move to higher ages. Any advice welcome.

Hi. I need practice drills for u11 that work on their long kicks, power kicks, and when passing the ball in crowded situations to pass to open team members and not just to a wide open area. We have our practices and most of it helps but in those moments on the field they are not ready for I need to train their basic instincts to automatically do long kicks, power kicks, and knowing to look up to find who's open. Some kids I just cannot get to grasp keeping control of the ball and attacking . Please help.

Coach Rory my U12 team is improving coordinating their attack in the final third but about half have a tendency to dribble too long (right into the goalie’s hands) and the other half tend to launch it the instant they have a lane even if they’re far out. Any advice?

[Eli]

I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Do you have actual footage from a practice session to share as well? I am fairly new to coaching and would love to implement more pattern plays!

[finch]

I’m coaching U12 9v9 Rec kids with only a few (4-5 players) who seem to have any soccer knowledge. We’ve only had one (1hr/week) practice so far. Do you think there is any value in trying to teach a numbered zoning system to teach off the ball movement and pattern play?

[nofurtherwest]

Just wondering why do you call your wide mids fullbacks and not wingbacks?

[Antesyd]

One problem with this is that 9/10yo kids have a hard time understand consequences and don't understand when they need to stay and when to run.

[edwinmakau]

Too much theory. Your strategy can only work if the opponent is stationary.
