Find the open teammate
Look at both wings. Which teammate has space, and is the path to them clear? Pass to the open teammate.
Open lesson on boardInteractive football lessons for kids and parents
See the game. Find your next move.
Sit beside your player on one screen. Arrange a 7v7, 9v9, or 11v11 picture, hide the coaching arrows so they read the grass without hints, and compare before and after together.
Ask before tapping: “Who has green grass around them and nobody standing in the path of the ball?”
Built for one screen and two chairs
Click through the four stages of a ten-minute session. Nothing moves on the board until you or your player choose an action.
Coach view
Start from one clear picture, not a moving video clip.
Open "Find the open teammate". Home #4 has the ball in midfield. On the left wing, Away #2 stands right on Home #5. On the right touchline, Home #3 has thirteen metres of open grass.
Green arrow marks an unobstructed lane. Red dashed arrow shows Away #2 blocking the left pass.
Hand over the tablet
Hide the coaching arrows so your child reads the grass, not the color code.
Press "Hide guidance & let them decide". All lane lines disappear and board setup locks so an accidental tap cannot change the formation mid-question.
Setup is locked. The learner can inspect any player on the pitch, while Home #4 remains the decision-maker.
Learner turn
Two taps prevent accidental thumb slips from counting as an answer.
Your child taps Home #3 on the right wing to preview the pass, checks the angle, then presses "Confirm pass". Nothing commits on the first tap.
Pass preview highlights Home #3 before possession transfers. Keyboard and roster buttons work the exact same way.
Talk it through
Score the choice against the board they actually saw.
Pivot evaluates the pass on the starting snapshot, before defenders shifted. Switch between Before and After to show why the right-wing lane beat forcing the ball into pressure.
Verdict: Open teammate found. Toggle Before / After or press Try again to test the risky left-side pass.
Five guided lessons and three match pictures ready on load
Every scenario starts from deliberate 7v7 coordinates where the tactical question is visible right away. Pick any card to open that exact board.
Create a support triangle
Move the selected midfielder to the left so the carrier has nearby midfield help on BOTH sides, not two midfielders bunched on the right.
Open lesson on boardCreate width
Your right midfielder is standing too narrow and a defender is near them. Move them wide, near the touchline, and watch what opens up.
Open lesson on boardProtect the central space
The other team has the ball. Their striker is free in the middle, close to your goal. Move your central midfielder to guard the dangerous space.
Open lesson on boardReact to losing the ball
You just lost the ball! The nearest home player should hurry to the ball; everyone else runs back toward their own goal. Move the selected home striker to help.
Open lesson on boardbuild out from the goalkeeper
The defenders are already wide. Move the selected midfielder back and away from the press to offer the goalkeeper a nearby open passing lane with room to receive.
Study match picturepressure and cover
One defender goes to the ball. Where should the NEXT defender stand to help if the first is beaten?
Study match pictureswitch the play
Pressure is crowding the ball on the right. Find the teammate on the far side who has space and an open lane, and switch the ball to them.
Study match pictureWhat the board measures, and what it refuses to fake
Pivot checks passing lanes, receiver pressure, and goal-side cover with transparent geometry rather than a black-box match simulator.
6.0 m
Bounded automatic team response
Release a dragged player in Coach mode and unpinned teammates adjust support and cover by at most six metres. Nobody teleports across the field behind your child’s back.

Phase-aware youth and full-sided shapes
Set separate in-possession and out-of-possession formations, bring a fullback inside, or compare a diamond against a box midfield as your player moves up age groups.

Foundations and Competitive language
Switch coaching explanations between plain spatial cues for seven-year-olds and lane-obstruction trade-offs for older academy or club players without changing the board.
