Note down the impact of doing this game with the players and any areas that the game has highlighted for future focus....
Changing the direction of play
Normal game rules apply except that when attacking your team can score in either of the end goals
If the ball goes off for a goal kick or corner it should be taken from the centre of the baseline
If the ball goes off the pitch on the sides a normal throw in is awarded at the point at which it went off
If a goal is scored the game restarts from the centre of the pitch
More accessible More challengingInclude an overload player to John in the team in possession making it 4 v 3 in each attack
Have teams drop behind half way line on goal kicks
Layout and equipment4 mini goals or tall cones, cones to mark boundaries, ball and bibs for each team
Reduce space to speed up play.
Dictate that goals can only be scored one touch
