How the board behaves

Every formation here is a set of starting positions, not a fixed shape. Drag the ball and the team adjusts around it: the side that wins the ball compresses toward it, the side that loses it drops and narrows. That adjustment is the thing worth showing a group, because it is what a formation means rather than what it looks like on paper.

Six scenarios are wired in, each a coaching situation rather than a drill: building from the goalkeeper, possession in the middle third, a final-third attack, pressing high, defending a wide attack, and protecting the middle. Switch between attacking and defending phases to see the same formation answer both.

Select any player to open their role card — the instruction that role is operating under, why it helps the team, and cues to watch for. Pin the role and it stays selected while you change scenario, so you can follow one position through a whole sequence.

Common questions

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and nothing to install — the board runs in the browser.

Can I share a board with my players?

Yes. Use Share this board under the pitch to copy a link to the current setup. Sharing a role directly into a player's view is still on the way.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The board is built for touch, and the layout adapts to narrow and landscape screens.

What is the difference from a magnetic tactics board?

A physical board shows one frozen arrangement. This one shows what the arrangement does once the ball moves, which is the part a printed shape cannot show you.
