What’s Inside:

• The Vision Behind Small Sided Games: Learn why SSG’s are essential for skill development, focusing on applying skills and decisions in game-like situations. It’s all about making learning fun and effective by teaching through play.

• Detailed Game Descriptions: Access 100 SSG’s used in our Elite Athlete (EA) training, including different formats like 1-on-1, 2-on-2, 3-on-3, and more. Each game is broken down with clear instructions and specific goals.

• Why We Use SSG’s: These games promote more touches, better decisions, and increased involvement for every player. With more space, creativity, and scoring opportunities, SSG’s encourage a faster, more dynamic learning process.

• Optimal Challenge Levels: We focus on the “sweet spot” in practice—where players are challenged enough to improve but not overwhelmed. Learn how to gauge the right difficulty level to maximize player development.
