TOVO is short for Totaal Voetbaal – (Total Football in English) is a tactical and strategic football concept popularized by the Netherlands national football team, particularly during the early 1970s. It was also associated with the Dutch club Ajax and its manager Rinus Michels. The concept emphasizes a highly fluid and adaptable style of play where players are not confined to specific positions and roles but instead interchange positions dynamically throughout the game. 

The style has become synonymous with Dutch and Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff and the TOVO academy is run by his son-in-law Todd Beane.

Pablo Woolls-Blanco sat down with Todd and Mousehole Head Coach Andy Graham on a Zoom call to discuss the project.
