It's A Long Shot: What This Session Is About
Development
Mark out an area 30 yards wide by 25 yards long from the top of the penalty area, as shown
in the middle picture. Create two cone goals at the end opposite the full-size goal.
Play 3v3 plus one neutral player in the smaller area, with a keeper in the full-size goal. One
team attacks the full-size goal, the other tries to score in the cone goals.
The neutral player plays for the team in possession. Players from both sides are not allowed
to exit the playing area. Once a team has scored three goals, the teams switch roles.
One team tries to score in two cone goals while the other targets in the main goal. A neutral
player (N) plays for the team in possession.
Game situation
Duplicate a penalty area directly opposite one, as shown in the bottom picture. Play a five-a-
side game, including keepers, with 3v1 in each half of the pitch, plus a keeper in each goal.
The teams of three are attacking the goal in the other half so they can pass to their team mate
there or take long shots.
Players have to remain in their own half of the pitch. Goals scored from over the halfway line
count double.
To progress, one team is allowed to push one player into the opposing half, to create a 3v2
(and a 1v2 in the other half).
The team that scores most goals wins.
In a small-sided game, goals scored from the opposite half count double.
