7v7 Offside Scrimmage

Setup

You will require: 1 ball / 2 sets of bibs / 2 goals / 10 cones, Set up a 40x30 pitch with two teams and two goals, Create offside lines with cones 8 meters from each goal line

How it works

Typical 7v7 game but the only rule is that you cannot be in the offside zone beyond the cones when a pass is made unless the ball is being played backwards, this encourages timing of the run in behind the defence

Coaching points

• Play through the lines
• Switch the play
• Play quick
• Two touch
• Open body

Progressions

progression: Remove the offside zone and have official offsides regression: Reduce team numbers to 5v5 format to make it easier to play between the lines
