(Some)Coping Strategies & Development Opportunities to benefit BOTH teams Change players positions (e.g. striker to defence) Possession games before scoring (3-0 Game or time limited 3-0) Keep the ball in own half Cross the halfway line and go back via the GK and re-start attack When a player scores he/she can t again until all others in the team have scored Inter change the teams! Put the free scoring strikers against your good defenders Other ideas??? (try to keep it game real and ignore numerical advantages and limited touches) DON T (Suggested) add extra players, limit touches or determine which foot to score with (stifles creativity)
Mixed Ability squads vs Level of current ability squads A bit late for this season maybe??? Do you have a mixed ability squad or do you have a A, B TEAM?? Pro s and Con s for both? How are the Zones formed..
