No coaching - the game is the teacher 64 Small-Sided Football Games is a compilation of games that I use week-in, week-out with my young players at Chelsea FC.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that players learn the game from playing. I've designed these games to help coach players in every aspect of the game, from individual core skills, to team-based attacking strategies.
These games are tried, tested and proven with both grassroots beginners and top youth players in professional academies. They are designed to stimulate players and lead them down the most effective paths of learning.
Some games get your players working on passing skills in competitive scenarios, while others are more tactically focused, providing your players with the skills to see the opportunities before them on the pitch.
Players will develop core skills through the sheer number of touches that each game guarantees. At the same time they will develop "football vision" - the ability to see spaces on the pitch - as each game is played in realistic game conditions.
And because of the pitch dimensions, you can run several games simultaneously, perhaps focusing on different disciplines, so that all of your players are playing all of the time.
64 Small-Sided Football Games will give you an array of skills, techniques and strategies to give your team an edge. So why not be among the first to own a copy of this unique resource?

Why small-sided games work
The inspiration for the use of small-sided games in coaching lies in street football and "kickabouts" on the nearest available patch of grass - small groups of players playing intense, high-tempo, skilful, competitive-yet-fun football.
It's widely held that the practise was first adopted as a structured coaching method by the Dutch Football Association back in the 1970s under the guidance of Rinus Michels, the inspiration behind what became known as Total Football.
The Dutch recognised the decline in street football and the damaging effect that would have on developing players in future generations. They formulated the 4v4 method as a response and it became widely known as “the Dutch way”. The Dutch produced some of the best football teams the world has ever seen - an amazing achievement for a nation of that size.
Tony Carr, Director of the West Ham United Academy (and editor of Smart Sessions), describes how when he was a player at West Ham in the 1960s the great Ron Greenwood used small-sided games at the heart of his coaching philosophy. Greenwood produced players of the calibre of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. Tony is responsible for some of the best players in the modern English game - Cole, Ferdinand, Carrick, DeFoe, Lampard, Terry etc.
Regardless of its origins, small-sided games work and more and more grassroots coaches and international associations (see below) are realising the benefits of the approach. Players and teams get better - faster!

Here's what US Youth Soccer say about small-sided games:
"The fewer players on the field, the more possible times a player will come in contact with the ball. In fact, players will find they have no choice; the ball will quickly find them!
More opportunity to solve problems that only the game can present.
Economical Fitness Training... Short duration, high intensity play with ball versus running laps.
We want our young soccer players to have more individual teaching time with the coach! Less players on the field and less players on the team will guarantee this!
The small-sided game allows coaches a perfect opportunity to observe and analyze the individual and collective responses of players under quick game-like conditions in a simple environment.
Players cannot hide or get lost in the small-sided environment. It helps improve competitiveness and aggressiveness.
It’s a FUN environment that focuses on the PLAYER!"
Tom Goodman, National Director of Coaching Education, US Youth Soccer Sir Trevor Brooking:
"Let's have more small-sided games so that they have more ball time. Let's allow them to have fun, take away the importance of winning and stop the young players being afraid of making mistakes. Concentrate on first touch and technique, allow that a short pass can often be more of a killer ball than the big hoof up to the centre-forward."
Sir Trevor Brooking, Director of Football Development, The English FA And the Scottish FA say:
"These games are the preferred method of training by professional players and are the most appropriate way of acquiring skills and developing young players."
