Welcome to talk tactics!

September 9, 2008

I’ve started this blog as a forum to discuss football tactics in depth. I am an English coach in the US and I mostly work with very young children, where I teach basic technique and fundamental principles of the game such as: if you don’t get the ball, get the man! No, I teach them to kick towards the goal, that kind of thing.

I will soon be coaching older teams where I will have the opportunity to coach the tactical side of the game as well as the technical side. So, I wanted to open up this forum for discussion on tactics, from formations, individual positional play, set pieces, rehearsed attacks, etc. Anything I, or you, can think of.

So if you have a suggestion for a topic, or even a question, then please email me or leave a comment. If you want to submit an article I will be happy to publish it on the blog.
