THE GAME - WHAT IS SOCCER?
It is a competitive game made difficult by the opponent.
It has an objective to achieve - to win the game.
It has rules to follow and a field to play on.
It is free flowing - No time outs or stoppages for coaching.
Players must solve the problems presented in the game - not the coach.
Connecticut Junior Soccer Association
THE GAME IS THE BEST TEACHER
The game presents the problems for the players.
Players must solve the problems.
Using games in training creates realism.
Players are motivated and challenged to learn through the game.

“If you’ve ever driven a carWith three kids screamingand fighting in the backseat,think about this: Does it tendto pull your attention away from the task at hand? Doyou ever feel overloaded? Ifyou add more pressure to thatcar ride, such as an icy road,can you handle all that at once? That’s exactly whatcoaches do when they yell atkids to do something: Theydistract them. They create“cognitive overload.” (pg. 161, Just Let the KidsPlay)
USING SMALL-SIDED GAMES TO TEACH
Small-sided games emphasize these areas of player development:
Skill development - number of touches on the ball.
Tactical development - decision making is expanded.
Fun and enjoyment - the number of scoring opportunities is greatly increased.
Game understanding - positional play is greatly expanded.
Intuitive development - Transitional play is increased and becomes automatic.
Attacking Opportunities Dribbling to take on opponents Dribbling into Space Passing Receiving Shooting Player Involvement
Defending Opportunities Tackling Intercepting Reading the Game Stopping Shots Distribution Player Involvement
USING SMALL-SIDED GAMES TO TEACH
TOUCHES ON THE BALL(A Comparison Between 11v11, 7v7 and 4v4)
In 1997 three different games were assessed by Glen Buckley
Director of Coaching NYSWYSA.
11v11 friendly game, 22 touches in 60 minutes
(0.37 touches on the ball per minute)
7v7 games, 205 touches in 48 min., projected touches in 60 min. = 256 (4.3 touches on the ball per minute)
4v4 games, 217 touches in 48 min., projected touches in 60 min. = 271
(4.5 touches on the ball per minute)
The player in the 4v4 game touched the ball 12.31 more times, in the same time period, that the player in the 11v11 game.
TOUCHES ON THE BALL(A Comparison Between 11v11, 7v7 and 4v4)
In 2001, the assessment was conducted again:
11v11 friendly game, 19 touches in 60 minutes
(0.32 touches on the ball per minute)
7v7 games, 96 touches in 40 min., projected touches in 60 min. = 144
(2.4 touches on the ball per minute)
4v4 games, 111 touches in 20 min., projected touches in 60 min. = 333 (5.5 touches on the ball per minute)
The player in the 4v4 game touched the ball 12.31 more times, in the same time period, that the player in the 11v11 game.
WHAT IS PLAYER DEVELOPMENT?
Player development demands that the player is central to alldecisions made regarding training and competition.
The coach who believes in player development will ensure that the following objectives are met:
Activities are enjoyable.
Each player has a ball during training.
Technical and tactical situations are created in each session.
Connecticut Junior Soccer Association
WHAT IS PLAYER DEVELOPMENT?
