How a lesson works

Watch it. Get it. Play it.

Every lesson takes about five minutes and ends with something to try on the field. Each module finishes with a short exam.

  1. Watch the pros

    See the idea in a real match. Short clips show how top players and keepers read the moment before they act.

  2. Answer quick checks

    Simple questions and diagrams make you think like a player: where to stand, when to go, what to call.

    The ball is near midfield and your defenders have pushed up high. Where should you be?

    Well off your line, between the penalty spot and the edge of the box.
    Standing on your goal line.

  3. Take it to the field

    Each lesson comes with a drill to practice what you learned. A ball is enough. A wall or a partner makes it easier.

How long is the training plan?

Each program runs 36 weeks, with two short lessons a week. Lessons from earlier weeks stay in your Library. Want more? Ask your coach.

Each week has two lessons of about 5 minutes and an on-field drill to practice what you learned. Each module ends with a short exam.

Coaches and video sessions

What is a virtual coach?

A real coach who follows your progress in the app, gives feedback, assigns lessons and meets you on video.

What age is Advantage for?

Players 13 and older, from U-14 through U-19 (high-school juniors and seniors), and the coaches and parents who work with them. A player's age group follows their birth year, and they can change it in the app.
