The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
The short pass is being penalised more consistently in 2026. Here's how to train proper passing technique and eliminate hand-offs under pressure.
No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.

Sienna to cross her arms in the air indicating corner X and then make a strong pass along the ground to the edge of the penalty box. Lucas to make a quick run towards the goal and then sharply turn and drive toward the ball. Instead of taking a touch he dummies over it. At the same time Nick makes a run towards the ball as the second player but does not shoot, instead again dummying over it. Finally Alessi makes a run like he is going to attack the back post, but then cut inside to receive the ball and shoot first time (i.e. without taking a touch). Peter and Aleksandar are on the back post and time their runs to distract the keeper and be ready for any rebounds.
