Briefing
Season performance briefings
A bound pack for the first-team meeting room: fixture-by-fixture notes, set-piece boards, and a short verbal walkthrough with the coaching staff.
Where it happens
On-site at your training ground in England and Wales, or at our Eccles room by arrangement
How long it takes
Three to five weeks for a half-season pack; a full-season review is scoped after the last league fixture
Who this is for
Head coaches, first-team assistants, and the analyst who already keeps the footage. Typical clients are League One, Championship, and well-staffed National League sides who want a half-season or full-season pack they can keep in the meeting room. We also take women’s first teams with a comparable fixture load.
The result is a spiral-bound pack plus wall boards, and a spoken walkthrough so the pages are not left unexplained. You leave with one agreed rewrite. After that, extra matches belong in matchweek notes.
What is in the pack
- A printed pack of 24 to 40 pages, spiral-bound, with a contents tab the coaching staff can find in a hurry
- Six large boards for the meeting room: season shape, set-piece map, substitution windows, travel load, injury-time patterns, and a one-page ‘do not discuss in front of the group’ sheet for the manager
- A two-hour walkthrough at the training ground with the head coach and whoever keeps the video
- One revision after that sitting, delivered within five working days
- A short note for the board if they ask for a version without player names
What we will not include
- Live tagging during a match
- GPS unit hire or medical screening
- Press-conference scripts
- Opposition notebooks (those are a separate briefing)
How the work proceeds
-
Intake at the training ground
We visit once before any pages are drawn. You show us last season’s folder, the current fixture list, and who is allowed in the room. We agree which competitions sit inside the pack and which friendlies stay out.
-
Source material
You send match footage access, team sheets, and any internal notes you already trust. We do not scrape public tables as a substitute for your own records. If a cup tie is missing from the archive, we mark the gap on the page rather than inventing a figure.
-
Draft boards
A first set of boards arrives as large prints, not a slideshow. The set-piece coach and the analyst sit with them. Anything that cannot be read from two metres is redrawn.
-
Walkthrough and revision
We talk the pack through in the meeting room, take written changes, and return one revised print run. After that, extra fixture weeks are matchweek notes, not an open rewrite of the season pack.
Preparation
Nominate one person who can answer questions about team sheets. Book a quiet room for the walkthrough (the canteen during lunch service is not enough). Players are not required in the first sitting.
Limits we keep
We work with clubs in England and Wales for on-site delivery. Scottish and Northern Irish clubs can use the Eccles room or a video sitting, but the printed boards still ship. We will not produce a briefing for a supporter group that wants it used against contracted players in public.
Rates start at £4,800 for a half-season pack. A full-season review is quoted after we have seen the fixture density and whether cup runs sit inside the same boards. Travel beyond a two-hour drive from Eccles is added as a day rate, not hidden in the page count.
