PRACTICES
With the expertise of our product developers and UEFA football coaches, we’ve re-designed a suite of training drills available in-game, to be replicated on the real-world pitch.
The creation of a free-to-access, online library of training practices for coaches, teachers and players to use in their everyday real-world training sessions. Created in collaboration with UEFA grassroots experts, using our in-game Skill Games drills. With tips and guidance from legendary footballing stars, the online library is designed to help grassroots players improve fundamental football skills: passing, dribbling, 1v1 defending and finishing.

CROSS INTO THE DANGER ZONE
This real-game scenario drill is split into 3 parts: it covers forward passing to your midfielder, crossing to the winger, and how to create space for your striker to finish.
BEAT AND CROSS
This one is all about developing your wing play. Learn how to make space and whip in a cross to create a scoring chance for your teammates.
2v1 WAVES

OVERLOADED ATTACKING
Learn how to convert a player advantage into a shooting chance, and hopefully a goal! Develop your spacial awareness, dribbling skills and passing technique.
DRIBBLE CHALLENGE
Slalom through the posts as quickly as possible and beat the defender to improve your close touch, change of direction and pace with the ball. As well as a bit of finishing on top.
ANGLE GATES
Focusing on passing accuracy, off-ball movement and vision, the aim of this drill is to improve your passing whilst avoiding defenders and obstacles.
CHIP SHOT

DIRECT FREE KICK

CROSS INTO THE BOX
The object is for the winger to use wide channels and swing the ball into the box for the striker to attack. For wingers, this is about travelling with the ball and delivering a killer cross whilst on the move. For strikers, it’s about exploring space and finding the target.
KEEP IT MOVING
Practice passing the ball via central teammates whilst avoiding the defense to improve passing accuracy, ball control and spatial awareness.
