Spread out, head up

Set up

One 25x18m pitch per six players, two small goals.

How it works

Three against three to two goals. No goalkeepers, no corners, just play.

Kick in from the side, no throw-ins.
Restart from your own goal after a goal.

Scoring: First team to three goals wins.

"Spread out""Head up""Get back quick"

Too easy?

Everyone touches the ball before a goal counts.

Too hard?

Bigger goals, smaller pitch.

Organising it

26 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 2 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. With 20 kids: 3 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No goals → two bags two metres apart at each end. No bibs → shirts on / shirts off. No cones → shoes or bottles on the corners.
