The Cheat Codes Playbook: Football Skills to Unlock Your Game (Player Guide, PDF)

Football cheat codes to unlock the bits holding back your game. Fix it at home in 15 minutes, with just a ball and a wall.

The Cheat Codes Playbook is written by Alex, a rep-team attacker and referee.

Inside: 20 codes in five parts: On the Ball, Passing, In Front of Goal, Taking People On, and Legs and Lungs. Each code has a card with what's going on, a fix in four steps, a drill with a to-scale diagram, and what to say. 5 secret codes to find. The Find Your Fix quiz points you to the three cards that matter most. The Badge Board: colour in each star when you unlock a code. Milestones at 5, 10, 15 and 20 codes, from Starting XI to Golden Boot. The Unlocked Card: fill it in at 10 codes.

Suits players roughly 11-17. Under 12s: fewer reps, and stop if it hurts. Instant PDF download, 42 pages, printable.
