How it's set up

This small sided game is designed for our youth age groups and focuses on developing players passing weight and accuracy. We setup by creating two scoring zones (size depends on age group), with a 4 v 4 game in the central area. The objective is for the team in possession to create opportunities to pass the ball into the end zones. If the ball stops in the zone, the team is awarded a goal. No defenders/attackers are allowed in the scoring zone, only to collect the ball after a goal is scored. The team with the most goals scored after the set period of time is the winner!
