Description

Each screen presents examples of small sided games and also how to look for space within small sided games to present in game scenarios. The session is also one that aims for players to relax and enjoy themselves rather than being constantly challenged. The games also maximise ball rolling time by the coach intervening one on one or to teams individually.
