The 9v9 format is one of the most important stages in a young player's development — it's where individual technique begins to combine with tactical awareness, and where coaching starts to look and feel like the full game. This guide has been built specifically for coaches working at Under 12 and Under 13 level, covering everything from dribbling, shooting, passing and defending drills through to full session plans that balance technical development with tactical principles. Inside you'll find over 80 pages of content including position-specific coaching guidance, set piece sessions, in and out of possession drills, and complete training sessions designed to prepare players for the step up to 11v11. ➡️ Download
