Organisation
Set-up a pitch suitable for a SSG (7v7/8v8).
Split players into two teams.
Teams must have every outfield player in their opponent’s half to score. This forces players to move up and down the field throughout.
Coaching Points
The emphasis is on quality touches and movement.
Praise creativity as well as hard work.
Emphasise communication and teamwork – players should encourage their teammates and keep the energy level high.
