In football, tactics refer to the specific strategies or planned actions that a team or individual uses during a game or competition to achieve their objectives and gain a competitive advantage. Tactics are usually designed in response to the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the conditions of the game or match.

In summary, tactics are all about making smart decisions and adjustments during the game to outmaneuver opponents and capitalize on opportunities.

CERTIFICATION

On completion of this course you will receive a certificate for understanding tactics used in football.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Game Plan: The overall strategy a team adopts to win, including formations, player roles, and approach to attacking and defending.
• Positioning: Where players are placed on the field or court to maximize effectiveness. For example, in soccer, positioning players in certain areas can help cover key spaces or create scoring opportunities.
• Style of Play: The manner in which a team or player approaches the game. Examples include offensive tactics (focusing on attacking and scoring) or defensive tactics (focused on protecting against the opponent’s advances).
• Adaptation: The ability to adjust tactics based on the flow of the game, such as switching to a more aggressive approach when behind or adopting a defensive posture when leading.
• Set Pieces: Pre-planned plays that occur during stoppages, like free kicks or corner kicks in soccer, or specific plays in basketball.
