Coaching it
How to get more from these practices.
The sweet spot
Six to ten players is enough for real opposition and decisions while keeping everyone involved. Rondos and small-sided games are especially effective here.
Odd numbers
With an odd number, use a floater or a neutral player who plays for the team in possession. Many of these practices already include one.
Scale the area
Each outline gives the area from Club. Make it smaller to add pressure, or bigger to give more time on the ball.
