This is a dynamic small-sided game that players love to do and at the same can be done to help educate them in many important areas of the game. We build the numbers up as we go to include more detailed information on particular plays they can learn. Quick play, fast decisions, quick transitions, tactical rotation and combination plays and use of imagination in tight areas finishing with many shots on goal; we get it all in this game. Enjoy.

Coaching Points:

Teaching the thinking process of awareness and peripheral vision
Quick Play: One and two touch
Combination Plays; overlaps, give and goes, diagonal runs
Rotations of players, tactical positional changes
Changes in tempo; learning when to slow the game down / speed it up
Very fast Transitions of play based on a possession change
Mental transitions in changes of possession
Shooting and scoring goals
An Immense amount of touches on the ball for every player
At some point bring the offside rule in, you decide when its it’s the right time.
You can ensure the right players form the attacking and defending team shape per your actual team set up. So have a back three / four work together or a front four for example. So a SSG becomes a function.

Count the score to keep it competitive for example the first team to score 5 goals wins. Players love this game its dynamic and a lot of fun too.

Ensure the coach identifies coaching moments and educates the players at every opportunity asking THEM to solve the problem; or create their own solutions.

Fast Transition 3 v 3 Plus Keeper Game

Coach says go. (4) and (C) race to the cone and coach shouts one team or the other to have possession (it could be the winner of the race). Two players join them to make a 3 v 3 but the keeper can be a keeper sweeper too.

Letters team get the ball. It is played to the central player to begin the 3 v 3 or 4 v 4 with the keepers. Play one game for an amount of time (can be 1 minute) then start again with the next players.
