Coaching Clinics
We travel across the country giving coaching clinics to clubs who want to know our methodology. With your online coaching membership, every new clinic we perform will be captured on film and made available to you.
Who’s it for?
Your activities & execution must be aligned with your philosophy.
Well, I’ll give you the short answer.
It’s mostly for coaches who have followed our work via the 3four3 blog, youtube, twitter, or even facebook. And have learned to trust we know our stuff and want to help.
If you haven’t followed 3four3, could this be for you?
Absolutely.
But, I would recommend you absorb as much of our free content as you can.
Because you see, aside from gaining trust, the blog helps give you a base as to what our philosophy is. And if you don’t share much of that, then the activities + execution (our methodology) won’t be in alignment with your views on training.
Furthermore, if you think you already know how to do this possession business, or that its successful execution has little to do with your coaching, then this is not for you.
You, your teams, and your players must first reach a level of mastery with this foundation! Then you can build on top with further detail.
I can’t emphasize this enough: If you think you’ve already got the foundational stuff down, your mentality won’t be right for this program. You’ll think it too ‘simple’, and not a match for your coaching sophistication.
But, if you’re not a master … if your teams aren’t executing that possession game as you’d like it …. if you’re like Brian and myself and believe so much more is possible, then:

What Age Groups?
We have applied this methodology successfully from U9 – U19, at all levels of play, and to both genders.
Here’s an experience matrix showing some of the levels we’ve coached:
* Different colors indicate different teams
* High school not shown
New Material
So how often will we add new – or updated and further refined – material?
Here again is why I suggest this membership is for coaches who have been with 3four3 for a while. They know that we drip out new content very slowly. They have an idea that our philosophy states there are no silver bullets to becoming a legit coach. It’s a journey.
And our philosophy on coaching education is the same: A slow and deliberate journey.
Our experience tells us it can take at least 6 months to a year (depending on your coaching level and roster level) of seriously implementing the initially available set of activities for your team to show signs of consistent match-day execution.
With all that said, we’re on a yearly cycle.
Core activities offered for year 1 of the program:
- Classic circle keepaway
- 4v0 and 4v1 rondo
- 3v1 rondo

Some testimonials from the class of 2014
Gary and Brian,
Are you kidding me? A Barcelona education one cool remove from Nou Camp and La Cantera? What was the cost- $200 something? You guys are crazy and unbelievably generous. What I saw on that video from my personal computer was the beginning of the revolution televised. Soon you will be preaching from stage with hundreds and hundreds- hopefully still ripping the Converse too. Thank you. I can’t wait to someday shake your hands man to man- hopefully sooner than later.

I’ve been to your excellent Lancaster clinic, I’ve watched your U14s practice and play, I’ve even (literally) got the T-shirt. I am 100% IN on this methodology. I’ve coached since 03 and never have had such clarity and excitement for coaching as I have since discovering your methodology (and watching 3four3 inspired team’s like John Pranjic’s Righetti). I want to support your massive contribution to the coaching community, and I also want to make fully sure I am teaching this the right way.
I had a 6 inch binder FILLED with session plans over the years- I removed every page, chucked them in the garbage. It was liberating. I have began filling it with 3four3-based content. Similar to what Paul Holocher went through, I’ve seen the light and am ridding myself of the influence of playing under shit academy coaches and listening to the shite spouted at licensing courses. I have demanded more from my players this week than across pre season’s combined – and they are responding to this intensity and specific guidance.

We scrimmaged a local club last week and beat them 2-0. The interesting thing is that the club we beat prides themselves on being a possession style club. Well, we dominated them and for the first time my boys actually played a little possession-based soccer. It was very nice to see. It was no where near the gold-standard but the exciting part is as they improve how much more dominant they will be.
We have one more week of practice before our season opener. I will be sure to record and keep you informed. Take care and thanks for all the help. You’re making me look like a genius!!!

Truly enjoyed watching the @3four3 Classroom videos today, continues to be one of the best investments I’ve made in myself as a coach!
The effects you guys have had on my coaching & teams have been tremendous even from afar.
