The Tactical Board is a powerful tool in Metrica Nexus that allows you to create clear and dynamic visual representations of your tactical ideas. Whether you’re preparing set pieces, training drills, or analyzing team shapes, the Tactical Board helps you communicate strategies with precision and visual impact.

In this chapter, you’ll learn everything you need to start using Tactical Boards effectively.

Each section below includes a short tutorial video covering a specific feature of the Tactical Board. Follow along and try it out in your own workspace.

Learn the basics of the Tactical Board. Start by creating a new board to adding players and drawing elements.

Add Player IDs

Learn how to assign names or numbers to players in your setup — perfect for clarity during team presentations or reports.

Add Zones and Trails

Use zones to show areas of responsibility, and trails to illustrate player movements or ball paths.

Animate Player Movements

Bring your Tactical Board to life by animating players across the field to show pressing sequences, rotations, or buildup actions.

Create a Set Piece from the Behind Goal View

Create tactical boards from the “behind goal” camera perspective — ideal for corners and free kicks.

✅ Pro Tips

• Combine the Tactical Board with the Field Radar annotation in the timeline for even more detailed presentations.

• Export Tactical Boards into the timeline as slide elements, and calibrate or telestrate them like any other clip.

• Use Panel Presets to switch quickly between Tactical Board, Telestration, and Coding workflows.

🧪 Try It Yourself

Open Metrica Nexus and create your first Tactical Board:

Organizer → New Element → New Tactical Board

Add a few players, name them, draw a play, and try exporting it to your timeline. This is the fastest way to get familiar with the interface.
