TOVO Training is intelligent football training designed to develop players of great cognition, competence and character. Unlike traditional training, TOVO is based upon sound pedagogical practices that encourage players to seek effective solutions with vision, precision, and pace. A proven program for professional academies and youth teams worldwide, TOVO will help you rethink and redesign talent development.

A Comprehensive Program
Each exercise within our training portfolio is designed to help players find solutions to the challenges presented by their opponents. Our players love the dynamic, engaging and competitive nature of our training sessions. As coaches, we know that while they are having fun they are also training their brains and bodies to work in harmony.

When we implement this coherent and cohesive training program, players improve their performance. It is that simple. Out TOVO Training Wheel is the training framework that allows coaches to facilitate development and players to benefit tremendously.

A progressive and patterned series of game-based exercises instills in players a sense of confidence and creativity. Our training is not only purposeful, but also positive and playful.

To be a total footballer requires cognition, competence and character. We have developed a detailed rubric that defines the complete footballer a young player must become if he is to maximize his potential. With the Total Footballer 3C Model in place, we begin to analyze and train every aspect of performance. An intelligent player capable of executing his options in real time under real pressure is a player that will be prepared to compete at a higher level.

Players who understand the intricacies of position play are elite players. Our methodology empowers players to understand the value of proper and effective positioning to control spatial relationships. While this may seem esoteric, it is not. Even our youngest players may effectively begin to acquire this understanding and put it into practice.  We break position play into 5 critical components that enable players to advance their development remarkably.

By introducing TOVO’s 14 Principles of Play, we help young players master concepts that they will apply throughout their entire football development. Footballers will practice toward consistent execution of these principles and in doing so play capably and confidently.

The game of football is open to many interpretations and therein lays the beauty of this international sport. At TOVO we believe in attacking, dynamic, possession-based football. Our methodology is designed to play the style of football that has led remarkable teams to tremendous success. Our origins rest in Total Football and for that reason our entire training method develops players capable of playing the game skillfully and intelligently. Every training detail leads us to play a system of play we find to be spectacular. Ultimately, players of great cognition, competence and character will be players who any coach in any part of the world will value.
