Pregame warm up drills
Are there any pregame warmup/drills for U14s. I have been taking a team for just over a year and we are slowly getting better. But to some reason we start really slow and it’s only the second half we get into gear. I am tho king this maybe my warmup or lack of something. As I am very new to coaching not sure where to start.
Thanks
Scott
Happy New Year Touch Titans and welcome to 2026 🎉
2025 has been a huge year for Touchtight and you as coaches, and we are proud of what we have built together. From major platform developments to the first releases of our season plan eBooks and published books, your support has played a big part in everything we achieved.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has stuck with us through the development of the new Club platform at club.touchtight.com, as well as the continued growth of our content and resources here on the app platform.
Our job as coaches is to make sure that every player we come into contact with leaves with the very best experience possible, giving them the opportunity to become the best they can be. That is our mission.
2026 will be even bigger. There are major updates coming this year, including powerful developments around video analysis and player management within clubs, alongside a lot more that we are building specifically for you.
You are a Touchtight coach because you care deeply about your players and your own development. Our focus for 2026 is simple: to make sure we provide exactly what you need to help your players reach their potential and to drive your coaching to the next level.
Remember... Better Coaches. Better Players.
Thank you for being part of the journey. There is a lot more to come and we are so very grateful you are on this journey with us.
Leon and the Touchtight Team!
VEO FEEDBACK
Touchtight Community! I need your help. I’ve been coaching a women’s team for 18 months now. We play a 4231 - but we constantly struggle with playing out from the back. Our GK cannot kick long and we want to be a possession based team. We Veo every game and I do the analysis every week. In and out of possession.
I’m constantly seeing the same issues and errors. Lack of bravery to play into midfield, combined with poor passing ability. A midfield pivot that never seems to understand how and where to find space to help in the build. We do (on occasion) see some great build patterns. But they’re happening less and less and my Veo analysis is being taken on board less and less. Is there anyone out there who would mind taking a look at one or two of our games? Do you see the same as me? I’m seeing the wrong things? I’m getting dissaslutioned with it, as the team seem to be regressing.
Women’s first team coach
I have a new 17 year old playing her first season in open-age, women's football. She has never had any proper coaching, so her first touch, passing, shooting, dribbling - almost all core skills are currently behind the level we need her to be.
However, she has the fitness level and energy of a Grand National racehorse. 90 minutes at full pace is nothing to her. Doesn't even break a sweat. Never seen anything like it, but she is all over the park. Has no positional sense.
In the short term, how would you recomemmend getting the best out of a player like that?
My thoughts are to give her one thing to focus on, and build from there.
For example, "Mary, today, when we don't have the ball, I want you to stick to their #8 and make sure she does not get the ball. Be really aggressive, fair but aggresive, and when you win the ball, pass to the closest player on our team."
What are your thoughts?
We're going to need months to get her to a decent level, but in the interrim, I'm thinking we can gain these small wins and take things from there.
How to Deliver Guidelines!
Hi Coaches... we are looking to start rolling out some supportive videos and documents for each practice to help you with delivery. (See resources section here: https://app.touchtight.com/programs/pre-season-111-possession-transfer-and-agility-game)
New PDF Documents will re-iterate key points in the videos and session plans, with images attached in a larger document.
Supportive video will go into the additional detail that you may not get from the videos, such as 'How to adapt with more players', 'coach positioning', 'when to step in', 'work to rest ratios' and much more.
It would be great to hear if you think this document and video support could come in useful for your sessions.
Thanks,
Leon

🔥 Pre-Season 56: Carousel Training Circuit
This Pre-Season practice focuses on developing both the physical and technical aspects of the game by working through various different zones. Zone 1 contains a SAQ circuit, Zone 2 requires players to dribble around cones, Zone 3 also develops SAQ but adds a one touch finish at the end of it, and finally, Zone 4 works players endurance with shuttle sprints.
