WHY SMALL SIDED GAMES?

In the past it was not uncommon for small-sided games to be played in the streets and in vacant lots with uneven numbers and mixed ages. Now our streets are too busy and the vacant lot we used to play on no longer exists. Thus, it has become the responsibility of soccer coaches to recreate the small-sided environment in their practices.
