Objective:
This soccer coaching game is a useful one to help youngsters practise overload situations (4v3, 5v2
and so on). It also helps solve that old soccer coaching problem – how to pick
teams for the end of session scrimmage!
Set
up: create a playing area 30 yards wide by 40 yards long and divide your
players into teams of four.
Use two teams per playing area.
Coaching
note: if you have an odd number of players, you
can make teams of either three or four but try not to have more than
four players in a team. If you have a spare team, they can work as side supports.
How
to play:
Play a normal match in each playing area
with the
condition that a player who scores a goal immediately transfers to the
other team.
If you are playing 4v4, for example, as soon as the
first
goal is scored, one team will have five players and the other will have
three.
Play for a set time or first to a certain number of goals
wins.
