A good football (soccer) training, without the planning

Ask “Plan a 60-minute football (soccer) training for beginners” and Ask Takoro builds one: a warm-up, three skill activities, a game and a wrap-up, picked for your team’s age group and adding up to exactly 60 minutes.

Young footballers learn most from lots of touches and small-sided games. A beginner session should give every player a ball early, then build towards a game where they use what they practised.

The example below shows the shape of a beginner training. In the app, the activities come from Takoro’s football (soccer) coaching library, with set-up, coaching points and easier or harder versions for each one.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it plan small-sided games?

Yes. Every plan finishes with a game, sized for the players you have, so the skills from the session get used under pressure.

Can I tell it how many players are coming?

Yes. Say how many are coming and it leaves out activities that need more players than you have. Otherwise it uses your squad size.

Where do the football (soccer) activities come from?

From Takoro’s football (soccer) coaching library, matched to your team’s age group. The examples on this page show the shape of a plan; the app fills it with real activities.

Can I change the plan?

Yes. Once it’s added, open the training to swap, reorder or retime any activity.

Is it free?
