Two 6v6 games side by side
Four teams of six play two simultaneous games on 35×25 m pitches, with the coach standing between them on the halfway line.
Rules
- Mini-goals or small goals; swap opponents after the first game
- 5v5 with a goalkeeper, or 6v6 to mini-goals without keepers for maximum touches
- Kick-ins or dribble-ins
- A goal after a 1v1 dribble past an opponent counts double
- Children referee their own throw-ins and goals
Coaching points
- Praise effort and good decisions by name
- Freeze a game only once, briefly, to show a good dribble
