I Want This Training Pack
Complete pack with 40 soccer tactical exercises on the defensive line and depth, organized in a pedagogical progression — Basic, Elementary, Intermediate and Specialization — so you can match the demand to your squad's level and the moment of the season. Each exercise includes an animated tactical diagram (step-by-step movement sequence), coaching points, observation cues and objective success criteria. Teaches defensive-line coordination: synchronized stepping up and dropping, offside-trap control, managing depth against balls played in behind and communication between centre-backs, from individual unopposed adjustments up to the full line under pressure in a real game situation. Ideal for coaches who want to save planning hours and have ready, tested sessions on the defensive line, without designing exercises from scratch.

How to use this pack

Quick-start guide: the 40 exercises are organized in 4 blocks of 10 (Basic → Elementary → Intermediate → Specialization), from the simplest (line posture and alignment unopposed) to the most demanding (full line stepping up and dropping under real pressure, managing balls played in behind). Use the animated diagram to present the idea to your team in seconds, apply the coaching points while explaining it, watch for the observation cues during execution, and use the success criteria to know when the exercise has been mastered. Every exercise also includes adaptation suggestions to make the task easier or harder without leaving the same game principle. HOW TO IMPORT INTO THE PLATFORM: after purchase, open the Tactical Board (Tools → Football → Tactical Board), click "Import" in the tool's bottom bar and select the .json file included in the pack.
