End Game (20 mins)

Organisation:

Roughly 30m x 20m field size or as required.

How to Play:

Have the end game look as much like the game on the weekend as possible, this means normal game rules.

Coaching Tips:

Encourage running with the ball when the player has space in front of them; especially in wide areas.

A good way to do this is by putting up poles or cones up about 5m away from the goal and setting the below rules:

- No goals can be scored before passing these gates.

- If a player on your team dribbles past that imaginary line and a goal comes after, it's worth 2 points.

Progressions:

Make the field wider if you want to see the players running into space more.
Remove the goals and create an End Zone if you want to see even more running with the ball.
