Open to suggestions.

Hi everyone, we have recently been testing coach questions and possible solutions in videos to help coaches with delivery. https://app.touchtight.com/programs/defending-the-cross-58-p12

We are after as much feedback as possible on this style of video, so please have a watch and let us know what you would change if anything. We want our material to be as well suited for our users and coaches as possible, so your feedback is invaluable! 👌

🎉 Hi all, Big Updates to our Coaching Themes Page https://app.touchtight.com/categories/coaching-themes!

We want this practice directory to be front and centre of all user's experience's on the platform due to the ease at which you can find specific content based on your needs as a coach, and that of your players. 

For example, you might need to work on your Counter Attacking, simply click Theme 2...https://touchtight.co/counter-attacking-sessions

Or.. you might need to work on Breaking Defensive Lines, then Theme 22 Breaking Defensive Lines might come in useful. https://touchtight.co/breaking-defences

Let us know your thoughts and if this comes in useful.. ideas are always welcome!

The 2024/25 Season is gonna be a blast 😅

🎉 Session 759: Mini Ballers - Copy the Leader, Avoid the Crocs & Race to the Zones!

This Mini Ballers (U8) session focuses on developing dribbling skills through fun and engaging activities. In practice one, we start with a "Copy the Leader" game where players must mimic their partner’s dribbling moves. Practice two is the exciting "Crocs in the River" game, where players dribble through a designated area, avoiding being tagged by the "crocodiles." Lastly, we have a reaction-based dribbling game, where players must listen for the coach’s call and quickly dribble into the correct zone. These games not only build dribbling skills but also improve awareness and decision-making in a fun, supportive environment.
