Team Play and Tactics
February 12, 2008
It is important as coaches we understand that there are significant differences with team plays as opposed to tactics. Today’s football demands that we construct a game plan, supported by a set of team rules for our players to operate by at both training and during a game. Having created the team rules and game plan structure, we are then giving our players direction and guidelines to play by, which in turn will make them more predictable to each other. These structures then do not change and become part of how your team will play each game of the season.
