LOGINCombination play - small-sided game
Developing further the movement and interchange of passing skills learned earlier.
WHY USE IT
This small-sided game builds on the practice and further develops attacking runs off the ball and combination play in and around the box in a 3v2 situation.
SET UP
Set up a playing area relative to the age and ability of your players. You will need two large goals, plus cones to mark out two wide channels along the full length of the area.
HOW TO PLAY
Teams play 3v3, plus two wide neutral players, one in each channel. The aim for both teams is to score, but they can earn a bonus goal if they score with both wide players having touched the ball.
COACHING POINTS
- Players can work on moving the ball quickly to create opportunities to switch the play, with players supporting both behind and in front of the ball to enable this.
- Movement off the ball is key to create space and opportunities to score.
