PRACTICES
With the expertise of our product developers and UEFA football coaches, we’ve re-designed a suite of training drills available in-game, to be replicated on the real-world pitch.
The creation of a free-to-access, online library of training practices for coaches, teachers and players to use in their everyday real-world training sessions. Created in collaboration with UEFA grassroots experts, using our in-game Skill Games drills. With tips and guidance from legendary footballing stars, the online library is designed to help grassroots players improve fundamental football skills: passing, dribbling, 1v1 defending and finishing.
DRIBBLE CHALLENGE
Slalom through the posts as quickly as possible and beat the defender to improve your close touch, change of direction and pace with the ball. As well as a bit of finishing on top.
ANGLE GATES
Focusing on passing accuracy, off-ball movement and vision, the aim of this drill is to improve your passing whilst avoiding defenders and obstacles.
CHIP SHOT
Develop your shot selection, power and placement to improve your 1v1 finishing from different angles.
DIRECT FREE KICK
Develop your shot selection, power and placement to improve your 1v1 finishing from different angles.
CROSS INTO THE BOX
The object is for the winger to use wide channels and swing the ball into the box for the striker to attack. For wingers, this is about travelling with the ball and delivering a killer cross whilst on the move. For strikers, it’s about exploring space and finding the target.
KEEP IT MOVING
Practice passing the ball via central teammates whilst avoiding the defense to improve passing accuracy, ball control and spatial awareness.
PLAY THE GAME
This drill puts into practise all the passing, tackling, dribbling and shooting skills you learnt so far and applies them to a game-like situation.
