This is a very difficult question to answer without knowing the players. Apart from the timing a general tip for you to consider is that when you swap try to swap partnerships so the players can get used to each other. What I mean by this is not to try and sub players all over the place and have players playing new positions all the time. This may confuse the opposition but it is more likely to confuse your own team and is something near impossible to train your team for in the limited amount of time you have for training. Building a team takes a long time and players improve team things mainly by playing games. Allow your players to get used to receiving and passing with the same players and start to create an understanding of likes and dislikes. I hope this makes sense. Bram
