With tomorrow being Saturday February 1, it marks 6 - 7 weeks before practices games will be played and that means there might be only 12 training sessions between now and then to train up the principles you want your team to follow for season 2026.
Over the 4 main phases of the game laid out below, and that could be extended to 5 if you prefer to divide transition into offensive and defensive, you should have 3 - 4 solid principles for each that you train up and nail for a single season.
Too few and you're not covering enough of what happens in a game and too many and the players just can't take it all in enough to master them all.
If you're still a few principles short of fully rounding out your team's approach in 2026, then scour the options below and get to it!
DEFENSIVE PRINICPLES
TRANSITION PRINCIPLES
- FORWARD PRESS DEFENSE
- LANE RUNNING
- MIDFIELDER RUNNING PATTERNS
- 666 CONNECTION
- EXPLOTING THE STAND RULE
- CREATING/UTILISING LENGTH
- WING PLAY
- PLAYING BETWEEN THE LINES
- OUTNUMBER ADVANATAGES
- MANUFACTURING CORRIDOR
- OVERLAP
- RUCK RUNS
OFFENSIVE PRINCIPLES
STOPPAGE PRINCIPLES
Alternatively, if you'd got something you'd like me to look over and give some feedback on then feel free to let me know.
