About Veldplan

A coaching aid

This board helps you explore spacing and structure. Automatic positioning is a close approximation based on the ball, players and selected settings—not a simulation of real player decisions. Use it as a starting point, then adjust it with your coaching judgement.

Using the board

  1. Build a situation. Choose formations, or use Free design to line players up on the sidelines and drag them into place. Drag any player directly.
  2. Place the ball. Turn on Free ball and drag it. Place it on a player and turn Free ball off to attach it. Attacker swaps the team in possession.
  3. Explore a pass. Tap the ball then a teammate, or swipe the ball toward them. Straight passes can be intercepted along the route; lofted passes are contested near arrival. The board pauses when the ball arrives.
  4. Link passes. Select Multi-pass, tap receivers in order, then Play. Tap the last receiver again to remove that selection. Multi-pass switches off when finished.
  5. Get positioning help. Set positions arranges both teams around the ball. Zonal protects areas; man-marking follows assigned opponents. Lock positions keeps other players still while you drag. Double-click a player to select one or more players and set their speed above the field. Free design keeps manual placements until you explicitly request a setup.
  6. Study space. Crowding and lanes highlights nearby pressure and potential passing routes. Demonstrate crowding walks through an example; Return to board restores your setup.
  7. Set up your teams. Open Coach’s office to assign names, shirt numbers and speed to each formation position, choose team colors, and save teams. Its Playbook section records and manages plays. Apply team edits before switching sides or closing the office.
  8. Adjust and compare. Drag players to refine any suggestion. Use Undo and Redo, Replay the last pass, or slow playback. Reset players keeps settings. Save board before refreshing; Open restores a saved board.
