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

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.

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.
