Set up once. Reuse the stations.
Plan around fixed stations, four-goal games and a rondo for each group. B and C can share a pitch and rotate. Space checks flag a setup that does not fit.
For coaches
More time coaching. Less time organising.
Take a clear plan onto the pitch. From three weeks of pressing practice to Saturday’s lineup, keep the team’s work in one place.
OUR FOOTBALL PHILOSOPHY
See the game. Choose a solution. Play.
Inspired by Johan Cruyff, Horst Wein and Barcelona’s playing philosophy. Many touches, small-sided games, intelligent movement and the courage to try. We develop decision-making alongside technique, rather than selecting for size and strength.
At home: master the ball. At the club: find space, offer support and solve problems together. The adult asks questions and adapts the challenge, so the children discover the answers.
An independent project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by FC Barcelona or the named organisations.PLAN THE NEXT WEEKS
One theme. A progression the whole team can follow.
Choose three or four weeks, training days, time, coaches, available pitches and the expected A, B and C groups. Build sessions around pressing, finishing, playing through or possession. Review the suggestions, swap exercises and keep the parts that work.
A sheet for each group.
Print a session with one page per group: pitch layout, numbered stations, Block 1–4, timing and practical instructions. Bring it on paper or open it on your phone.
Different challenges. A shared idea.
Use easier and harder variations of the same idea. Give beginners time for ball mastery and add more complex decisions as players become comfortable.
Your exercises. Your club’s knowledge.
Create exercises on a desktop board with 25 types of equipment and markings, pitch dimensions and animation steps. Exercises are shared with the club’s coaches. Attach a training video, or use AI to turn a screenshot or a chosen YouTube interval into an editable draft. Always review the result before using it with players.
MATCH DAY
Give every player a clear role.
Choose the squad and starting lineup, move players between positions and manage substitutions from the touchline. Record match events and review who played where and for how long.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
See participation, not just the score.
Review minutes, appearances, positions, goals and assists. Shared statistics help coaches notice who needs more time on the pitch and discuss development with context.

Yours to keep: put it in the club folder, on the club’s own website, or in the coaches’ group chat. We only ask that the BallQuest name stays on it.
