This very simple small-sided game is one of my players’ favourites.
It works on keeping your players’ heads up, good off-the-ball movement and quick decision making.
It is suitable for all ages and abilities.
Set-up: Divide your players into two teams of four.
Tip: if you have one or two spare players, have one or two teams of five. If you have three spare players, make them into a team.
How to play: one player from each team wears a distinctive bib. He or she is the target player.
Play “normal” futsal with one condition: goals can only be scored by the target player.
Change the target player after every goal.
First to four goals wins (or, if you have a team of five, first to five goals).
