Lesson 3:
5V5 (+2) GAME (PART 3)
Welcome to this exciting conditioned small-sided game played on a 44 yards x 40 yards pitch, divided into halves. The teams consist of four players each, along with goalkeepers, and to add an interesting twist, two neutral players (N) operate in the wide areas.
When in the defensive phase, each team should adopt a formation with a back three and a holding midfielder, just like Team A illustrated in the diagram to the right.
The objective for the attacking team is to score by advancing all their outfield players (except the goalkeeper) into the opposition half. Wide players have the freedom to dribble inside the pitch upon receiving the ball, adding an element of unpredictability to their attacks.
A significant reward awaits the attacking team if they manage to score through a well-executed cross from a wide player, netting them two points. In case of a successful goal, the team that scored restarts the game from their goalkeeper.
When the defending team regains possession, they instantly transition to the attacking phase, attempting to build up play and score, just like their opponents.
