Small-sided game in the penalty area
Game
- Description
- Small-sided game in the penalty area. The attacking team scores a goal if they complete six consecutive passes. The defending team can score by making a clearance into either of the two small goals after winning possession.
- Quality factors
- Utilizing depth and width in a small area. Off-the-ball movement: continuously offering passing options and creating space. Head up: anticipating the passing target and the next move.
- Key questions
- Attackers: How do we ensure that the player in possession always has at least two passing options? (Are players moving correctly to support the ball carrier?) Defenders: How can we collectively guide the player in possession toward the worst option?
