LEVEL 2 SWITCHING PLAY SSG 6 v 6 KEY FACTORS
All small sided games (S.S.G) are organised with the following:
60x40 yard pitch, with two goals. 6 players on each team, goalkeepers 1, defenders 2, midfield 1, attackers 2. This formation can be changed but seemed to be good for all topics. Start position may very, this iS due to the topic which is being delivered.
The point of the start position is to get directly to your topic, which should enable you to coach your topic and give player’s roles and a basic understanding of them. Once you have done this you can then allow the session to progress in ‘FREE PLAY’. This allows both teams to attack and defend which will allow you to assess and coach when you feel you have a valid point to make. It is not recommended to direct the opposing team members to help your session work. If problems occur you need to solve them.
