Using Constraints in Soccer Practice Design (Coach)

Constraints are conditions coaches place on their small-sided games or other training practices in order to provide specific, game-related challenges to their players.  A constraints-led approach (Newell, 1986) has become a coaching 'buzzword' over the past two decades, as the use of small and medium-sized games has increased.  This course will introduce and analyze the concept of 'constraints' and discuss how to get the most from this powerful training approach.

  1. Introduction to Constraints-Led Coaching 
  2. 21 Small Sided Games Handbook 
  3. 21 Small Sided Games Animation video explainers
