• Always finish a TST session with a SSG game
  • This may be a 2v2 or 3v3 depending on the numbers
• Try to keep the coaching to a minimum as much as possible during these games.
  • Coach on the run if necessary.
  • But make sure you are engaged in the games and 'commentate enthusiastically to build energy and atmosphere in the games. the players love it.

RULES

• Physicality Rule : Keep the physicality in the game to a minimum too (Call fouls even if borderline etc. No full body tackles).
• No lifting rule : If the ball is lifted (scoop only - NO BOOTING) it must be brought back to the ground immediately. If not the team that lifted the ball first, looses possession.
• The bring it in rule: If ball goes out then the team getting possession can run it or pass it in.
• The little bit out rule: If ball goes a 'little bit out for a fraction of a second, and one touch is used to get it back in,  then it remains in
• The own goal rule: Own goals don't count as goals (attacking team gets the ball back,  as a goal kick)
• The Deflections rule: Deflections count as a goal (like in a normal game). Deflections aren't own goals.
• The forcing rule: If a shot is blocked by a defender and goes out, it is the defenders ball
• No Goal Keeping rule ; Use a middle cone as a third goal to stop goal keeping
• First time finish rule applies if a team is winning by 2 clear goals (can be played at all levels)

Advanced player Rules

• Play first time finish from the outset BUT can score from anywhere
• Use cones inside the goals as a goal keeper. The shot must miss the cone.
•  
• Swap all goals for cones

• Pressure rule – if a player in possession is tackle and the ball goes out the tackler gets possession
• Interception rule – if a pass is intercepted and goes out the interceptor gets possession
