Organization
Mark out a playing area measuring 25x20 meters/27x22 yards. Place a goal at the center of both short sides. Form two teams of seven players. Five players from each team are positioned inside the field, while the remaining two players from each team are positioned next to the opposing goal (one on the right and one on the left). The goalkeepers defend the goals.
Description
- A small-sided game is played with 5 players on each side
- Goals are only valid after a pass made by a support player
Variations
- The goal is only valid after a pass made by a support player and with a one-touch shot
- The goalkeeper cannot block the ball, but only deflect it. In this way, we train the players to attack the goal strongly
Coaching Points
- SSG useful for finishing quickly; focus on speed and accuracy of passing
- Focus on correct posture to promote fast and effective passing that allows to shoot on goal frequently
- Focus on quickly reading the ball when it is played to the support player or when there is a duel to shoot on goal
