SmallSided
@Ninety7
SmallSided
• Little to no leadership off the
field.
• Agile by nature; lots of trial
and error.
• Small adjustments make big
improvements.
• Mistakes impact only your
team.
@Ninety7
Players
@Ninety7
Players
•Individual effort is key.
•Roles are defined, but
don’t matter in the end.
•Players are fluid and play
all roles.
• Field is small, so players
can be everywhere on it.
@Ninety7
Players
•Likely have access to all
levels of management.
•Small-sided is NOT easy
(or even easier).
•It is just different.
