Set up: Indoor, pitch size dependant on numbers/objectives/intensity. Players in small- sided teams 3v3, 4v4 etc. GK's stay in goals. Play a SSG competition, times to be dependent on numbers/intensity. 

Key Points:

  • Speed of play in tight areas
  • Combination play & off the ball movement
  • Take shooting opportunities early
  • Defensive compactness can you force the attacking team backwards/sideways away from your goal.
Small-sided game rules ideas
  • Passes = goals: How many passes a team makes before a goal scored = that amount of points eg 4 passes = 4 PTS. 
  • Pitch in thirds: Split pitch into thirds & try have a player in each third in possession & 2 when out of possession. 
  • High Press: Pitch in thirds & whatever zone you win the ball back & score = that amount of points. zone 3 = 3PTS.
  • 3 touch or 1 touch: You can either play 1 touch, if you cant you must take at least 3 touches before you can play. (Either play quick or be composed & comfortable on the ball). 
  • 1 touch finish: If you score with a 1st time finish you score 3 PTS.
  • Counterattack: If your team score within a set time upon winning the ball you score 3 PTS
