Hi Mathew Brazier ,

Thanks for reaching out about the 2025/26 Season Plans.

Just to flag - monthly members now have full access to all Season Plan videos, which wasnโ€™t included before. Thatโ€™s a big upgrade from previous years, and there are more improvements on the way.

The eBooks are now sold separately via store.touchtight.com as weโ€™ve moved to a free trial model, so PDFs arenโ€™t included by default.

Annual Subscribers, get 1 free eBook in addition to the ~ยฃ20/year saving. The Annual Coach Bundle Membership gives you 2 eBooks plus full access to both the Club and App platforms (Mobile App included).

Let me know if youโ€™ve got any questions or need help making the switch, happy to assist!

Hi Dennis,

Great to have you with us, and huge respect for the work youโ€™re doing with the U8/U9s! Coaching at that age is such an important part of their development.

The 4v4 format without a keeper is a perfect setup for developing individual technique, awareness, and decision-making. Your idea of using a rhombus shape (6, 7, 9, 11) is spot on, it encourages spacing, angles, and natural rotation. Youโ€™ll start to see how even the youngest players begin to understand support play and transition when given clear roles in a shape like that.

Here are a few quick suggestions:

Focus heavily on 1v1s, 2v2s, and ball mastery in your sessions

Keep everything game-based and fun โ€” lots of touches, short rest periods, and constant engagement

Rotate players through all positions โ€” let everyone try being a โ€œ6โ€ and a โ€œ9โ€

Use small goals or target areas to encourage finishing and defending, even without a keeper.ย 

Feel free to share session ideas, looking forward to hearing more as your season get's going!๐Ÿคโšฝ๏ธ

I would have it continue Jerry Naylorย as a normal game, and maybe look to reward the team on gaining possession (eg two goals if they reagin and finish within 5 seconds, a goal for two 6 second regains). You don't want too much stop start here.ย

Hi sjaak van de kooyย so sorry missed this one!Iโ€™d recommend keeping it fun and energetic to ease them back in.

Start with some simple ball mastery to get the touches going again, then small-sided games to build sharpness and decision-making.

You could also mix in some team-building bits to get that group connection back. Keep it light but purposeful, then gradually build the intensity over the next few weeks.Have a great season ahead!
