Episode 136 - Limiting Touches in Training or Matches

Send us Fan Mail Episode 136 Brought to you in association with our friends at Soccer Coach Weekly (@SoccerCoachWeek) Episode 136 – Limiting Touches in Training or Matches In this episode, Scott and Ray discuss the pros and cons of limiting the number of touches players can take in training sessions and matches. We explore how touch restrictions can encourage quicker decision-making, better movement and faster passing, but also consider whether they can sometimes restrict creativity, confidence and individual player development. We discuss when limiting touches might be beneficial, when it could be counterproductive and alternative ways coaches can achieve similar outcomes. To finish, we introduce the 30-second rule, a simple coaching principle that can help reduce unnecessary stoppages, increase ball-rolling time and maximise player engagement and learning during training sessions.
