Dear Coach,
Do you waste a lot of time in training setting up grid drills? Do your players stand around getting bored while you reconfigure the practice area, when all they want to do is play? Well, now you can say goodbye to wasted time and bored players because Progressive Soccer Training in Grids provides a complete guide to getting more out of every session by using a single grid to transform one exercise to the next revolving around your training theme for that day, without changing that grid, but still using multiple progressive small sided games and drills in a single training session. This new concept harnesses progressive small sided games and drills in a single grid to minimize setup time while maximizing the time your players can practice, leading to quicker improvement in every session.
Progressive Soccer Training in Grids is a unique coaching guide focused on this new approach to training. It shows you how to organize an entire session using a single grid and how to run a sequence of drills that morph into each other. This saves valuable minutes that are normally wasted every training session and enables you to maintain a high level of intensity from start to finish.
What’s more Progressive Soccer Training in Grids shows you how to reconfigure training based on a single training theme. Instead of jumping from shooting to possession to transition play, this book is organized to enable you to quickly switch from one drill to another and focus on a specific skill for the entire session. This means you only need to decide what to work on, open the relevant chapter and follow the sequence of small-sided games and drills from the start to a finish of a training session.
Packed with an abundance of drills, from shielding to wide play to counter attacks and more, Progressive Soccer Training can be used to gain a big increase in training time and improve your team in multiple areas in a single grid.
“Being head coach for the last seven years of FC Vitosha senior team at both, amateur and professional level, I found myself in need to renew my drills and pursue improvement in all aspects of the game and this book has given me a great opportunity. This book showed me how to enrich my training routine, and to be more organized, without letting the players lose their concentration, while progress from a drills to the next one.
I find it extremely useful that the drills are well-arranged by topics and each chapter concerns a particular theme. Any coach can hold specific and well-orientated session just by having a look in the book and find drills which are right for his team’s quality and ability. The simplicity of the arrangement of the exercises is also great advantage and my players easily understand what I want. Using single drill set up, or rearranging it a little, from the begging to the end of the session, is absolutely perfect for progress and work on specific topic.
Progressive Soccer Training in Grids will make my coaching more fluent and easy, and will also ensure variety of the means I use to become better coach and manage a better team. Strongly recommend this book to any coach who wants to improve him/herself.” – Yasin Mishaui- First team Head coach FC Vitosha (Sofia) / Bulgarian International Amateur Team
“Shows you how to increase training efficiency by using one grid for multiple small sided games and exercises—more time training and less time organizing the session”
Small-sided games are a core part of training. Whether you coach youth teams or elite squads, players at every level gain a host of benefits from practicing in limited space. This includes improving their space awareness, reactions, decision making and using grids also enables you to focus on perfecting specific moves in each session. The downside is that setting up a sequence of drills can be a big drag on your time. It’s very time consuming having to keep rearranging the configuration every time you want to change the exercise. What’s more, it causes players to stand around getting bored and takes them out of the focused mindset you want to develop.
This is why ‘morphing’ is rapidly growing in popularity as a way of managing grid training. This approach focuses on a specific theme throughout the session, with all drills performed in the same grid. Progressive Soccer Training in Grids shows you how to use ‘morphing’ in your coaching arsenal by showing you how to run an entire training session with exercises described for you in detail with diagrams and coaching points which morph into each other to save valuable training time. .
Along with minimizing the time it takes to shift from exercise to the next, all of the drills in this unique book are carefully chosen to offer a progressive sequence. This means that all you need to do is decide what skill to focus on, whether it’s third man runs, combination play or check runs, and then simply follow the series of exercises outlined in each chapter – using one grid during the entire system.
