Setup a 15 x 15 yard area with 4 players on the outside and 1 player in the middle. Also have two defenders in the middle of the area who have to try and intercept passes across the area or tackle the middle player who is working with the outside players to keep the ball.

The possession team score a point each time: If the 2 defenders win the ball back, they play 2 v 1 against the inside attacker and every pass is a point. If they make 5 passes, another attacking player joins in to make 2 v 2.

SSG Game with 7 v 7 game with the pitch split into vertical thirds. In this game normal football rules apply and include principles of attack and defence while supporting players in possession to help encourage them to play across each of the three thirds to help them to maintain both width and depth.
