This small sided game takes place in a 25 by 35-yard area and focuses on developing quick 1-2
combinations and finishing. We setup with a 5 v 5 in the central area and a goal and goalkeeper on
each end. The objective of this practice is for players to play 1-2 combinations around defenders,

earning them a goal for each successful combination. If players combine with a 1-2 and then finish
VIDEO off the pass, the team is awarded 3 goals. If the defenders win possession, they must look to
combine using 1-2’s and finishing in the opposite goal. The team with the most goals after a set
period is the winner!
