The team tasks are intentionally simple, so that players develop a universal understanding of the game. Based on the idea that we want ‘365 players’ (who can play for anyone, anywhere, anytime), the main mantras within the team tasks are designed to be applicable for any formation or style of play.

Accordingly, players who develop an understanding of these universal team tasks will be able to understan how these apply within different game models that they may experience across the pathway.
