CoachingLab
These techniques exist because a football simulator needs reusable tactical primitives, not only final score predictions. OpenArena breaks team behavior into recognizable coaching patterns so buildup, pressure, compactness, width, and transition decisions can be deployed consistently across thousands of simulated possessions.
The engine is wired to use this material directly: each board describes a phase objective, each radar axis becomes a style prior, and each curriculum note feeds the tactical identity layer that biases runtime choices in possession, out of possession, and during state transitions.
The goal is a data-driven simulation stack: club identity from structured data, behavior from explicit tactical rules and priors, and match output that remains interpretable because every live action can be traced back to a named technique, phase tag, or style instruction shown on this page.

Deployable engine techniques
Scroll through every technique. Each card is a reusable tactical pattern the simulator can reference when building possessions, organizing pressure, or selecting transitions. This is the real tactical-style teaching layer, not just static arrows.

Coach identities on the green field
Choose a manager to inspect the club profile on the same green 120×80 pitch the simulator uses at runtime. This view keeps the pitch simulation and the written tactical profile, while dropping the extra graph panels.
Pitch map (simulation coordinates)
What you are looking at — A canonical engine snapshot, not a replay. Each phase panel shows how this club's data-derived identity is translated into positions, spacing, and directional cues on the same 120×80 coordinate system used by the live simulator. Teal arrows indicate the intended behavior class the engine can call into, while red / white dots show team and opponent structure under the same spatial assumptions that drive runtime decision-making.
Tactical styles and coaching notes
Text-only style priorities, runtime lessons, and coaching rules from the same profile driving the simulator. The graph views stay out; the tactical descriptions stay in.
