Practice Session Planners On these forms, you can record player names and group them by position. Warm-up, main session and conclusion can be briefly described, and exercises can be sketched out on the field diagrams. You can note the date, session number, etc. at the top, plus any special comments. Of course you can also use the back for more field diagrams.

Player Data Forms These forms can be a source of surprising information about your players. It could be useful to know that your central midfielder is also a gifted chess player, for example, or that your goalkeeper was a field player until age 17 (so he should have no problem with back passes). Keeping track of players’ jobs and school or working hours is equally important and can often help clear up problems.

Game Analysis Form  As a coach, you need to have information about future opponents, potential new recruits, etc. This form provides space to record names and numbers of players, the opponent’s basic formation and substitutions during the game, plus more detailed information such as defensive and offensive organization, preferred attacking style, preferred defense system, attack/defense transitions, strengths and weaknesses of individual players and handling of set plays.
