Instructions/Setup:
This small-sided game is a standard 6v6 or 7v7 setup, with the added challenge of rewarding teams with an extra point or goal if the ball is delivered from any of the four wide areas. These wide zones are marked with squared cones on the flanks of the field.
The objective is to encourage players to focus on attacking through the wider channels and commit more players to the offensive play in these areas. The game promotes the use of width, providing more space for creativity and forcing teams to work on wide plays and crosses, while also allowing defenders to practice closing down wide spaces effectively.
Coaching Notes:
• Utilize Width: Encourage players to spread the play, using the width of the field to stretch the opposition’s defense and create space for the ball to be delivered into dangerous areas.
• Quick Transitions: Stress the importance of quick transitions from defense to attack, especially when the ball is switched to the wide areas. Players must move quickly to exploit the space and take advantage of the extra point opportunity.
• Crossing and Finishing: Focus on quality delivery from the wide players. Encourage attackers to time their runs well and make themselves available in the box for a well-placed cross.
• Support the Wide Play: Players in central positions should provide support to the wide players, either by offering options for short passes or by preparing for a second phase of attack.
Progression 1: Add Restriction on Central Play:
Limit central players to completing a certain number of passes before the ball must go wide to earn the extra point. This forces the team to work through the width of the field and focus on ball movement to the flanks.
Focus: Encourages teams to focus on attacking through wide areas and emphasizes ball circulation before utilizing the wide zones.
