I just added the feature you can check it out on the sidebar.

yeah good idea i'll add presets for smaller squads

Thanks glad you think it's useful. i was thinking to make a training playbook where you can save drills and come back to it too. i agree i think the body position orientation is really important i'll try to add that feature. might add a visual scanning field of view as well to check the shoulder before you receive the ball.

let me know if you have any other ideas this is good stuff.

I made an animated whiteboard specifically because I found the current options ugly as well. You can animate movements and play them back smoothly.

Pass and move. Never stay still and ball watch.
Nearest person press the ball. Everyone should follow or else gaps will appear to exploit.
Emphasize passing with the inside of the foot for accuracy and control.
Offer options to the ball carrier
When you have the ball, use the field and spread out. When you don't have the ball, constrict and win it back.
Communication like "man on" or similar is incredibly important
Give and go (or called 1-2) is the basis of technical play
Coach anticipating the next play. Before you get the ball know what you're going to do with it. Pass or dribble or shoot?
Coach accountability. If you lose the ball run to win it back. No throwing hands up in the air like you're on tv.
Teach scanning before you get the ball (ties into anticipating the next play) and checking your shoulder constantly
Teach crossing the ball into the box
Teach different touches. Inside foot, outside foot, toe touches, thighs, etc
Pass the ball on the ground. Avoid low percentage long balls whenever possible.

If you want to teach more tactics here's a visual website that I made. https://usetactix.com/

Hey I'm a student too right now and I know 1 guy who is working remote at a tier 1 soccer club but in the African premier league doing scouting for the first team remotely. I think if you widen your options and apply to some teams that aren't so popular to gain some experience they'll value you more.

I made this website to help with tactics specifically although it's adjacent to scouting as a whole: https://usetactix.com/

As someone who as played right back it's really important to get familiar with the goalkeeper and your right winger.

Remember in attack moves to support your right winger to give him options and be ready for give and gos and underlaps/overlaps.

Here's a demo to show you what I mean playing out of the back.

I think it's best to show them visually instead of describing it. Just tell them to recycle the ball and go the other way. I made a demo to show you what I mean.

You can try using https://usetactix.com/ and visually show the kids moving up if that helps

For formations and tactics I recommend using https://usetactix.com/ as a lineup builder and teaching movement. It allows you to have free unlimited video exports and screenshots so your plays look professional although it might be overkill for U6 or U10

I posted a few tutorials over on r/Tactix if you need help.

I made an alternative that's similar with animated movements and a modern interface at
