- How to coach scanning - easily our most popular football coaching video.
But that one is nearly 2 years old and we've learnt a lot since then.
For the last few months we've been testing a football drill that helps develop scanning skills in youth footballers in more of a match context.
The key to coaching scanning is to let the drill/activity develop the unconscious habit of scanning.
If we as football coaches simply tell a player to 'check your shoulder' or shout 'scan' we essentially have kids who are looking left and right without really knowing what they are looking for.
We need to make activities that force children to look for team mates, space, defenders etc without us having to tell them.
Give this one a try with your players.
It can easily be adapted to make it easier or harder depending on the level of your team.
We've got more videos coming up to discuss scanning.

Great video. An absolute Basic is to watch (scan ) the BALL. Surprised you didnt mention the ball, this for me is No.1, esp given that up to 90% of football is off the ball (unapossed) hopefully a lot lot less with young players. But still a critical part of scanning and the game of football. Ps, A great video..
I like it, i think it is more of a scanning. dribbling exercise in my opinion. i have tried this with one ball and the the scanning off space, opponnent and team mates means decision making is more realistic to the game. ie do i pass, or do i dribble 1v1 or run the space.. but tks, a really interesting twist on something i have been doing 👍🏻👏👏👏
Great exercise - useful if Foot-Tech Academy provided length x width of playing dimensions
We vary it depending on the age/ability level of the players but you could keep the width (for example) roughy the same as you’d use in your match format but feel free to vary it for different challenges 👍
Interesting video and I’ll certainly be trying this with my u8s.
Could it work with 1 ball to work on passing too?
Could do but the chaos that's created by having more players with a ball at the same time also helps with the scanning elements.
One way we adapted it to work on passing within the game was to simply add another attacker into the area who the other attackers could use if they wanted.
This way we now have them scanning for team mates, space, the goals and defenders.
But try it out and see what works best for your players and what they enjoy the most.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Luke
