Your team talk, finally making sense to everyone in the room.
This 27 piece shirt magnet set turns a tactics board into a picture your players actually read, whether they are eight or twenty eight.
Round magnets tell a player where to stand. Shirt shaped magnets tell them who they are. That small difference is the reason a shape clicks in ten seconds rather than ten minutes.
The set gives you two full outfield teams in red and blue, two black goalkeepers and a football, so you can walk through a full match shape, a set piece routine or a substitution without borrowing pieces from another board.
Each magnet measures 30mm x 30mm with a strong magnetic backing, so they hold position on a windy touchline instead of sliding into a heap at the bottom of the board.
The glossy moulded finish wipes clean and survives a season in the bottom of a kit bag, which is where most coaching kit ends up.
Use them for pressing triggers, rotations, corner routines or a simple walk through of who picks up who. They work on standard magnetic coaching boards, tactic folders and dressing room whiteboards.
Mike Phelan spent years working alongside squads where the detail of a team talk decided the result. Clear tactical communication is a coaching habit worth building at every level, from Sunday league to the academy pitch.
Coaching boards are sold separately. This is the magnet set only.

Frequently asked questions
How many magnets are in the set?
27 in total. That is 12 red outfield players, 12 blue outfield players, 2 black goalkeepers and 1 football marker.
What size are the magnets?
Each magnet measures 30mm x 30mm, which stays clearly visible on a full size coaching board without crowding the pitch markings.
Does this set include a coaching board?
No. This is a magnet set only. It is designed to work with magnetic coaching boards, tactic folders and dressing room whiteboards you already own.
Will these fit my existing tactics board?
They are compatible with most magnetic football coaching boards and folders. Check that your board has a magnetic surface rather than a plain dry wipe laminate.
Are they suitable for school PE lessons?
Yes. The two team colour split and shirt shape make positions easy to explain to beginners, which suits PE lessons, grassroots training and academy work alike.
Can I buy these as spares?
Yes. Coaches often buy a second set to keep one in the kit bag and one in the dressing room, or to replace pieces lost over a season.
