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 wasn’t included before. That’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 we’ve moved to a free trial model, so PDFs aren’t included by default.

Annual Subscribers, get 1 free eBook in addition to the ~£20/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 you’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 you’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. You’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 — lots of touches, short rest periods, and constant engagement

Rotate players through all positions — let everyone try being a “6” and a “9”

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

Feel free to share session ideas, looking forward to hearing more as your season get's going!🤝⚽️

I would have it continue Jerry Naylor 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.

Hi sjaak van de kooy so sorry missed this one!I’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!

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
