The book Annual Planning for Competitive Teams U-17, U-19, and Men's Football Teams is a specialized essay. It is a comprehensive and detailed design for competitive teams, which can be applied to U-17 and U-19 teams.

The key features allow men's teams to also follow this annual planning (with necessary adjustments to the principles and loads). This is feasible as the basic principles of developing an evolutionary program are followed, according to the Portuguese school (Tactical Periodization) as well as the French school (Annual Periodization), as well as the basic directions for an ideal football training (Football Periodisation) proposed by the Dutch expert on tactical and fitness programming, Raymond Verheijen.

The book presents in detail every element that must be taught and perfected, from a special football warm-up to the final stage, which is the learning and application of team tactics through specialized games.

The goals of the book are organized into thematic units that compose a harmonious whole, which are as follows:

• Possession games / tag
• Basic technical exercises
• Preparation and improvement of speed
• Partial tactical exercises
• Special technical exercises
• Team tactical games
