Small Sided Games have always been a passion of mine as a young player and as a coach.
There are so many reasons why, these are the benefits as I see them;
▪ It looks and feels like a game (direction, opposition, goals…etc.)
▪ You can manipulate the games to help the individuals, develop themes or shine a light on a
certain moment of the game.
▪ The players are free to play, make decisions and find solutions.
▪ The level of enjoyment of engagement for the players.
This eBook is an evolution of the 2017 version. In the last 3 years I have explored this topic a
little more, both on the grass and off – developing a better understanding of the rationale and
academia behind Small Sided Games. The outcome is hopefully a deeper, richer and more
meaningful piece of work to help coaches and players.
Hello! I hope you’re having a great day. Good luck 🙂
