Key Factors

  • Focus on dribbling and shooting under pressure in a small sided game. Retain realistic game scenario situation with conditions and challenges to encourage dribbling and skills moves.
  • Conditions - Goals can only be scored in scoring zones: 
  • 1 goal for scoring in the large goal but two goals for dribbling though the gates resulting in a goal.
  • Aim - to encourage 1v1s  and creating space to get a shot at goal. 2 goals for dribbling though gate and scoring .  One goal for scoring in the large goal. 
  • Defending team to press and close down attacking team to stop and block shots. Focus on goal keepers positioning and handling to deal with longer range shots.
  • Challenge - In attack - to perform a Welsh Way Move to beat a player and dribble though the gates  / or create space to get a shot away at the large goal. In defence - press the attacking player reduce the distance between yourself and goal to stop a shooting opportunity. Goal keepers to work on position in 1 v 1 situations.
  • +Increase number of gates to dribble through for double score.
  • - remove the gates and allow any goal scored through 1vs1 and WWM is double.
  • -the defending team must retreat to half way on goal kicks (to enable the ball to played out and reduce press in attacking teams half).
  • Remove conditions for  final 10 minutes for SSG.
