ONLINE COURSE: Designing small-sided games for Soccer
- Do you want to be able to design effective small-sided games?
- Do you want to improve your player’s decision-making capabilities?
This course aims to help coaches in designing small-sided games for physical, technical and tactical development. For that purpose, it will present the effects of different task constraints manipulations (e.g., players number, pitch rules, game rules, spatial references…) on the players’ physical, technical and tactical performance based on scientific and practical evidence.
Also, it will focus on how these manipulations affect the players’ decision-making and movement behavior.
Finally, it will present a general overview of how small-sided games can be designed and manipulated during a soccer training microcycle.

Great guide to how to use SSG
-
Highly recommend this course. I would like that you could go a little more deep in 9-12 ages case and the diferences between this ages and senior ones. Also the english should be more perceptive, kind confuse.
