Read a full session before you spend anything.

Not a teaser with the good part removed. This is session 24 exactly as it appears in the book, top to bottom.

Counter-press — win it back in 6 seconds

React instantly to losing the ball by counter-pressing in numbers around the loss, aiming to regain possession before the opposition can build a counter-attack.

Setup

30m x 30m zone, 6v6 possession, live the instant the ball is lost
A called six-second countdown starts at the turnover
Fail to regain in six and the team resets into a defensive shape

Key coaching points

Nearest three converge — cut the easiest out-balls first
Aggression in the first two seconds; passivity is the biggest error
Players furthest away close passing lanes, not the ball
If the six seconds go, the shape must be immediate and organised

Progressions

Reward a regain inside the box with a direct shot
Cut the countdown to four seconds for an older group
Add a numerical disadvantage to sharpen the urgency

Shaun's coaching eye I want the reaction to be immediate but organised. The nearest player can press, but the others must take away the obvious exits. Five players chasing the ball is not a counter-press.

What you get for nine pounds.

The pitch has no wi‑fi. Neither does this.

Most coaching resources are a website, or a PDF in an email you cannot find. Cones & Bibs installs to your home screen and keeps all fifty sessions on the device. Stood on a dark pitch in February with one bar of signal, it opens instantly, because nothing is being downloaded.

It also means no account, no login, and no password to reset at 6pm on a Thursday.

Be honest about whether this is for you.

Buy it if

You coach a grassroots side around a full-time job
You want something to run tonight, not a philosophy to study
You have cones, bibs, balls and not much else
You are tired of scrolling for a drill at 9pm

Do not buy it if

You coach at academy level with analysis and GPS behind you
You want video — this is diagrams and words only
You need futsal, or a sport that is not football
You already own a library you actually use

Questions coaches ask.

What ages does it cover?

Roughly U9 up to adult. Each session lists a best-fit age range and squad size, and every one has progressions to take it up or down. It is not designed for U7s.

Is it really a one-off payment?

Yes. No subscription and no renewal. Updates to the sessions are included.

What do I actually receive?

A link to install it on your phone or tablet, and a copy you can keep on a computer. Both work with no internet connection once installed.

Can I print the sessions?

Yes. Every session prints to a single page with the diagram, setup and coaching points, sized for a pocket or a clipboard.

Can I share it with the other coaches at my club?

It is licensed to one coach, but you can send an individual session to another coach on WhatsApp straight from the app — that is what the share button is for. If your club wants full copies for the whole coaching team, email me and I will sort out a club rate, cheaper than buying several.

What if it is not what I expected?

Email me within 14 days and I will refund you in full, no reason needed. The refund policy is the whole of it — there is no small print underneath.

How do I get hold of you?

[email protected]. It is me who answers, usually within a couple of days. There is no support desk and no ticket number.
