Final game 7v7 on a 55×37 m pitch, team A in a 2-3-1. A goal counts double when it comes after a give-and-go (one-two) or a switch of play; the defending team in red plays a 3-2-1.

Rules

  • Normal 7v7 rules, including the retreat line if your league uses one
  • Goal after a one-two or a switch counts double
  • Rotate substitutes every 4 minutes so all play at least three-quarters

Coaching points

  • Keep the shape wide so the central midfielder has angles
  • Full-backs and wingers offer the switch
  • Stop play no more than twice per half and let players explain
  • Use only the session's three key words during the game
