Coaching Objectives
This is all about accurate shooting and it provides a natural handicap that equals up teams in terms of skill.
There are no goalkeepers in this game. Play a 5v5 with goals marked by using training poles placed centrally at each end 5 yards wide. Play a normal game but each time a team scores shrink the goal by half a yard. If a team shoots and misses the goal gets bigger by half a yard to make scoring easier.

What the Players Do
Players in teams of 5 play a normal game of football but with the emphasis on creating and scoring goals. Players must work hard off the ball to be able to create space and time to take their chances. Players must communicate well with teammates in both defending and scoring goals working hard for each other.
Coaching Tips
Shooting
Players should try to finish by taking into account the goalkeeper's position and the best place to put the ball. Players should always be alert for rebounds and poor clearances
Playing through midfield
It is about more than just passing – recognising when to play forward and when not to, releasing the ball and when to dribble. Sometimes a pass can take out midfield by playing the ball from deep rather than playing through midfield.
Modify the Session
This game is great fun and self-regulating making it harder and easier as players score or miss goals.
