Description

A simple SSG encouraging support play from wide players.

Play in short bursts of 3 or 4 minutes then rotate players.

Coaching points:

Encourage the supporting players to move around the triangular area to help support the central players.

Challenge the central players to make the correct decisions; when to use the support player and when not to.

Defending players need to recover quickly and find the best defending positions.

Progression:

Can only score with a one touch finish from an assist from supporting player.

Allow a supporting player to enter central area once he has passed in to a teammate, making a 2v3+1. If this player scores award 3 points.
