Every week you get to choose what kind of training you want to concentrate on. As you can see, you can choose two different trainings. The effects of the week's training always appear on Wednesday evening (18.00), so you have to change your training before this. The end time of the training for your team can change every week due to server load. Usually teams receive training from 18:10 to about 21:00 (server time).

All your uninjured players will receive training, so not only those who played a match in the previous week. Your players will even receive training without having a coach, because a coach only makes them train faster. If you have more than 20 players, none of your players will get training, because of an overcrowded gym.

If your team gave an intentional walkover in the previous week, your players may not get the training. Please have a look at [Team] Matches to see a list of walkover causes that will cause your team losing the training.

A 15 year old player without potential or coach has a maximal gain of 0.158 skillpoints a week. He will train slower as he gets older and when he is too old he will start losing skills.

Players who are 18 years old or younger might have potential, a hidden factor which increases the rate of training. This potential value is established when the player is created, and decreases each year the player gets older.

Potential may also be different each week, so your players (if they have it) will not reach their full potential each training, but on just some of them.

Training type

• Rebounds: improves rebound skill
• Inside Shooting: improves two point and free throw skill
• Outside Shooting: improves three point and free throw skill
• Dribbling: improves dribbling skill
• Footwork: improves footwork skill
• Speed: improves speed skill
• Passing: improves passing skill

Coaches

Clubs can hire coaches that assist with training. Each coach has skills similar to players, and these skills determine the coach's ability in training them.

Players will receive a bonus in training if the coach's ability is greater than the player's ability. If you have more than 1 coach, the coach with the highest training skill will train your players. The greater the difference between the coach's and player's skill, the more training the player will get.

The experience of a coach assist with improving team chemistry. The more experience a coach has, the greater the team's chemistry will rise if there are no other changes to the team.

It is important to know that at the age of 69, at the beginning of the season, you'll get a message in your team news, telling you your coach will retire at the end of the season. So take into account that your coach will not be available anymore at the age of 70.

To help users to hire better coaches, the older ones will cost less than the younger even if they have the same skills.

Getting a coach

Coaches stay on that market for one week. If a coach hasn't been bought during that week, he will be removed and a new coach will replace him on the market (if the number of coaches is smaller than the amount needed).

You also have the possibility to hire a coach from abroad, but remember that he will have a higher salary. The number of coaches in each country is calculated this way: Number of coaches = total users of country / 3

Instead of hiring a coach, you have also the possibility to convert one of your players to become a coach. You can choose between three different levels, with each level adding a different amount to the player's current skills.

Once a player becomes a coach, he won't be eligible to play in your team anymore.

You can use your 2 million debt to purchase coaches.

Community Coach

The community coach is a cheap and good first coach for a new team, because he costs only 500,000 € and has two skills equal or above 25 - those are the skills you set in training before you hire the community coach before the last week update.

Please note that the community coach can be hired only once by every team. So if you fire your community coach, you will not be able to hire a another one again.

Training Coaches

Every week, a coach that is training a group will train the same skill. Coaches will gain around 1 skill per season trained, except for shooting skills, which will give them half a skill on 2PT/3PT (depends on the training) and FT, experience included when coaches are used. Because of this change, coach salary may increase every season.

The coach will train 0,06 every week for the skills he's training.
