Manchester Enter The End Zone SSG

This small-sided game takes place in a 25 by 40-yard area and focuses on developing possession, penetrating movement and finishing.

We set up by creating two 5-yard end zones with two mini goals on each end. We have two teams, with 4 players starting in the central game zone and one defender from each team defending the end zones. Teams can only score if they make 3 passes and enter the end zone via a pass-through from a teammate. The defender becomes active in this zone, and they must win possession or block any attempts on goal. Switch the end zone defender every few minutes to ensure each player gets a chance in this role.
