Wide Overload 4 Goal Game:
- Players play 5v5 (depending on numbers) with 2 neutral players in the wide channels, creating a 7v5 in possession.
- Wide neutral players must stay in their channel to provide width. Other players can go anywhere.
- Neutral players can't score but can assist.
- Goals can only be scored in the mini goals out wide initially attacking one end.
- Emphasis on creating overloads in wide area and switching the play as quickly as possible to move opposition out of shape.
Progression:
- Add the normal goals in the middle giving 3 options to score.
- 2 goals for scoring in the mini goal out wide, 1 in normal goal. Then swap emphasis of attack and have 2 goals for normal goal and 1 for wide. Discuss the importance of playing wide and how getting into wide areas can creating opportunities for the team to score.

Wide areas matchplay:
- Normal match rules but wide channels added into the playing area.
- If a goal is scored from a cross/pass within the channel to somebody in the middle and a goal is scored, it's worth double.
- Emphasis on players creating width in the channel
- Crossing and finishing scenarios
- Decision-making on positioning and decisions on the ball.
