Coaching Question

[slimbo]

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

 

I am keen to find out if anyone has heard of a training method that I understand Barcelona use. I sure other clubs use it too.

 

Apparently they divide the field into 8 or 9 grids. When one player moves out of one grid another has to take up that space. I have tried to find it on the net but had no luck.

 

Would be keen to know if anyone has heard of it and can post it here?

 

Cheers.

That is fantastic, I'd love to see how that's done too.

i've heard gabriel marcotti talk about it before on the times podcast i think. they start teaching it to kids at la masia - the pitch is divided up into 8 squares or areas which must always have at least one player in them. think it comes into its own more when you don't have the ball more than when you do - but it does apply to both etc. i've never read anything concrete about it but would be interested to.

you could put a little grid-square at the side of the pitch for your son to stand in

I'm officially retired.

 

In the last 5 years my son has won more medals than Michael Owen. He's spent much less time getting splinters on his arsse too.
