2 MINI GAMES TO ENCOURAGE PLAYERS TO CONSIDER SPACE AVAILABILITY IN AND OUT OF POSSESSION.
CREATE A PITCH THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER IN ONE DIRECTION (SOME SUGGESTIONS IN VID).
PUT MINI GOALS ON OPPOSITE SIDES AND PLAY A MINI GAME (10 MINS OR SO) AND THEN DISCUSS WITH THE PLAYERS ABOUT WHERE SPACE IS TO PLAY IN AND DEFEND AGAINST.
SWAP THE GOALS TO THE OTHER SIDES AND PLAY ANOTHER GAME, HAVING THE CONVERSATION AFTER THIS GAME ABOUT THE NEW SPACE AND HOW THAT FELT.
FINALLY PLAY A GAME ON A TRADITIONAL SHAPED PITCH AND ENCOURAGE THE PLAYERS TO IDENTIFY SPACE LIKE THEY DID EARLIER
PASSING AND CONTROL OF THE BALL ARE KEY TO USE THE SPACE AVAILABLE. ENCOURAGE GOOD BALL SKILLS AS WELL AS LOOKING FOR SPACE
