Playing Philosophy
ACADEMY PLAYING PHILOSOPHY
‘To develop and encourage a creative and attacking style of
football where quick, incisive transitions enable rapid movement
through the thirds. To strive to dominate possession that allows
us to orchestrate 1v1 and overload situations, where creative
decision making leads to increased goal scoring opportunities.
To defend with grit, individual and collective intelligence, where
shape and tactical resilience successfully withstand penetration.’

Playing Form is mainly games-based activities in which players are
actively making decisions themselves based on the positioning of
teammates, opponents and space, such as a small-sided game. Playing
Form likely leads to greater skill acquisition that transfers to matchplay compared to Training Form teaching principles
