Description
- Small-sided game with a 5 v 5 situation
- Goals scored after recovering the ball in the opponent's half count double
Variations
- The game is played with two touches to encourage oriented control
- The goalkeeper cannot block the ball, but only rebound it (this way we train the players to attack the rebound strongly)
Coaching Points
- Encourage immediate ball recovery
- Encourage players to develop high-tempo ball possession so as not to give defenders time to close down passing lanes
