It can be used, for example, to use oddnumbers and rotate players on and off the field and keep themactive and engaged.We can also use this area to"unbalance" games and use it as achallenge area. Players need tocomplete a challenge, after scoringperhaps, to return to the game andearn their team an extra point.Meanwhile, their teammates haveto try and manage their gamewhilst the challenge goes on.

The Power ofNano & SSGInstead of the traditional view of breaking soccer into its individualtechniques; dribbling, shooting, passing etc we choose to take the longterm view and develop techniques IN games in addition to developingtactical principles and decision making. We choose to coach the ideas and the decision because it is morereflective of the learning cycle (Look, Think, Do, Review) and moretransferable from practice to performance.Develop comfortability of “Me, My Ball, MyGame”Coaching intervention based on decision-making (what, when, where, why, how), notexecution (success & failure)Praise Intent vs. OutcomeScoring, Keeping & Stealing the ballAwareness of dangerNanosoccer - 1v1 - The Power Of MECoaching intervention based on decision-making (what, when, where, why, how), notexecution (success & failure)Develop comfortability of “We, Our Ball, OurGame”Scoring, Keeping, Sharing & Stealing the ballAwareness of danger and the gamebeyond myselfNanosoccer - 2v2 - The Power of WEW W W .

3v3 & 4v4 - Building USWhen we can start to see the children understanding and appreciating the simple ideas inthe game, such as scoring, stealing, keeping, and sharing the ball from the ages of 4-8,we can start developing the world (SLOWLY) beyond themselves and a friend into largerformats.The key here for 8-11-year-olds with 3 v 3 and 4 v 4 is to CONTINUE emphasizing all theprevious parts of the game, INTENT OVER OUTCOME, but to teach these within aSLIGHTLY more structured method. We can still teach this through games, challenges, and bonus points/incentives. Moving from 2v2 > 4v4, we need to develop the idea of SHAPES and create a number of1v1 situations within those shapes.In particular, a TRIANGLE or DIAMOND (not a square) gives us LENGTH AND WIDTH IN POSSESSION to CREATE SPACE and a platform to DESTROY SPACES OUT OF POSSESSION when we get NARROW AND SMALL3v34v4

Page 27

Pre-Teen & Teen Soccer - Small(ish) Sided Game - 7v7 & 9v9More kids on the ball Making more decisions In game like situations and scenarios more Options of variance in practiceCREATING SPACE through LENGTH & WIDTH INPOSSESSION DESTROYING SPACES by getting SMALL andNARROW OUT OF POSSESSIONBut how would training in Nanosoccer sizedgames like this translate to those having toplay larger formats on the weekend?THE KEY IS IN THE SHAPES.When we use Nanosoccer formats not only do we get : We are able to build platforms so it is easier for the kidstransfer those principles to larger formats later down theroad. THE LONG VIEW7v7 TransferenceIn 7v7 the transfer from 4v4 to 7v7 is very simple. Thatdiamond shape is reflected into the other half of the fieldAND in tandem with our principles: Playing in shapes like this allow us to have continuity from1 format to the other thus keeping the game and changeof format as simple as possible. The shapes areidentifiable by the children (when trained with), creatingsimilar and familiar frames of reference, despite theadded numbers and greater spaces to use.9v9 TransferenceWhen changing formats from 7v7 to 9v9 we stick to thesame principles as before and attempt to create framesof reference and situations that are similar to previousexperiences. The best way to do this is to add 2 number 10s(midfielders) into the previous 7v7 shape (1-2-1-2-1) andcreate a (1-2-1-2-2-1) with wing backs offering andcovering the width. In doing this we are maintaining thesame roles and functions as previously allowed in 7v7 ,4v4 and 3v3.

Page 28

The end result ending up in 11v11 and a 1-4-3-3 like this. This has been the most usedshape in modern times for teams to play.Here we add the full backs into the team for the 10th and 11th players.In completing our sequence like this we are again able to maintain a level of familiarityto the children as they grow through the game. Ending with the adult gameAdult Soccer -11v11The CaveatWhilst it is important to know and understand the context where we are aiming to getto with the children in our teams, the importance of knowing where we are andsupporting THE INDIVIDUALS cannot be understated. Our objective with this explanation is to show the path and why we train the way wedo.It is critical we give every child as many opportunities on the ball, making decisions inrealistic games and situations as we can. We want to keep the game ENJOYABLE &ENGAGINGThis a reminder that this is THE LONG VIEW on development. Whilst we do have teams to coach, it is the individuals in the team that make the team.Children who can understand the game, problem-solve and make their own decisionsis the best we can hope for. Ensuring children are still in the game at 16 is the minimum we can do for them and thegame itself. M o r e o f t h i sM e a n s B e t t e rT h i s
