Videos can be fast, often too fast so the voice over doesn’t match what is being shown to marry the two up. However, if I watch it several times without audio, slowing it down with the slider myself to understand the pattern, then listen to the audio (sometimes ignoring the video at the same time) it increases my understanding and therefore ability to delivery with improved quality, rather than trying to just pull from memory. Works for me anyway. Also printing the resource off can help.

Yes, I play 4-3-3 this season and I’ve used it as a session and as warm warm up exercises before a game. I added an extra player at the top on the centre, varied the play at that end, and added few SAQ drills at bottom so as not to have players standing round waiting to join the circuit. Player 3 for example would go to SAQ section on a counter clockwise rotation, with the next new player coming in where player 9 starts. Gets the patterns fresh and habitual before the game.

Yes, we’ve been moving to a 4-3-3 formation this season and tried this one at the weekend, but modified it slightly by adding an extra deep player at the bottom of the design to simulate keeper position, and added an extra high player for the 3rd attacker. Kids grasped the various patterns we tried with many of their decisions clearly looking to implement them in the small sided game that followed. Theme 39-P9. 👍

Doh! Just read that you gave a password in your message. My bad. Reading with apprentice eyes on! 🤦‍♂️

Hi Leon, after a bit of delay I got round to trying this today, but despite being logged in, it still asks me for a password and my password is not letting me in.

Resource doesn’t match the video?

Great game. Kids loved this one.

Great practice. Delivered this several times, each time improving my own delivery and emphasis on the coaching points. Tried for the first time on a new group of kids tonight who loved it. Can be used for working in defensive pairing if the focus is switched to communication, reading body shape, recognising triggers etc.

Like the exercise, but think the text script applies to a different session. This one is a 1-2 set pass with a long forward pass. There is no turn out involved. Otherwise good excericse or a technical passing pattern.
