How to operate:
- This will be played on a normal sized field
- 11 v 11 with subs
- Depending on how much time you have to play the game try to incorporate half time as a review of the half and what players are doing right / wrong
- Once half time is finished whoever was on the bench will replace the other players.
- The players that get subbed off can come back on for those who didn't to avoid players getting worn out
Description:
- This is a real game with half time and substitutions
Tips / Rules:
- If players are playing rough tell them to relax because it is only a practise game
- Goals apply as normal
