Pitch Instincts

Pitch Instincts teaches players to see the game. In every exercise the animation shows not only where the players stand, but what each of them should do: where to look, how to stand, which foot to receive on and how to run without the ball. Turn the phone on its side, tap a player and see the advice for exactly this moment. SEE THE GAME AS THE PLAYER SEES IT • Scanning and field of view: see how much of the box the player sees, and where he should look next • Body position: open body, half-turn, and when the body should face the goal • Receiving: the right foot, past the pressure, or shield and find support • Runs without the ball: when to come to the ball, when to check away and come, and when to run in behind - taking the length of the pass into account • Scan frequency: how often and how fast the head turns in the exercise, against the top level UNDERSTAND SPACE AND TIME • Distance: switch on the distance to the opponents and to the ball for the player you tap - in metres, and for the ball also how long a pass takes • What if?: drag a player somewhere else, and gaze, body, receiving and runs are worked out again for the new position BUILD A SESSION IN SECONDS • Choose a theme or principle, time, players and area – the app suggests two to three exercises that build up, and free play at the end • Filter the exercises by number of players and area, so you get what suits your group and the pitch you actually have • The equipment is listed on every exercise: bibs in the right colours, cones, balls and goals, with numbers • Share the session as a link or PDF, save your sessions and mark your favourites 48 EXERCISES – ALL WITH OPPOSITION Rondos, positional games, transitions and games on goal. The exercises are made for players who need to learn to make better choices, not just repeat one solution. Each exercise comes with an explanation of why it trains what it does, and coaching points you can use on the pitch. MADE BY A COACH Every movement in the animations follows a football principle and is checked before it is shown: no player runs faster than possible, and no pass goes through a defender. The advice is tips and questions for the coach, not the final answer – you know your players best. Norwegian and English. Works offline. No account and no data collection.
