Size your conditioning games

Pick your sport, your numbers and what you want the game to do. You get the size of the area, a bout plan, rule tweaks, cone spots on your own pitch and, if you like, balanced teams from your squad.

Step 1: Sport

Step 2: Age group

Step 3: Match week

How far away is the next match?

Step 4: What is the game for?

Each one trains a different part of the game. Pick the one your players need most.

Step 5: Players at training

How many outfield players have you tonight? The planner works out the best set-up for the game you picked.

Pick the teams too

Tick who’s here and get balanced teams in seconds.

  • Balanced on ability, with keepers in goal
  • Bib colours, floaters and who sits out each bout
  • Keep players apart or together
  • Send the teams to WhatsApp in one tap
What is a floater?

A floater plays for whichever team has the ball, so the attack always has one extra player. Give them a different bib. Floaters keep the ball moving, make a game a bit easier, and use up an odd player. They run as hard as everyone else, so they count in the area. Goalkeepers don’t count: they get their own space at each end.

Step 6: Your pitch

Name the two ends

E.g. "Road end" and "Clubhouse end". The cone spots use these names. The bottom of the drawing is the near sideline.

Advanced: change the starting numbers

These are guidance, not hard rules. Change them to suit your players. Saved on this device.

Pick the teams too

Tick who’s here tonight and the planner picks balanced teams for these games, in bib colours, with floaters and subs rotated each bout.

On your pitch

Drag a game to move it (on a phone or tablet, tap it first, then drag): it snaps to the pitch lines and keeps 4 m from other games. With more than one game, tap Arrange to try other layouts.

Small boxes at the ends are goals (games with keepers). Gold lines show the distances in metres.
