SAQ equipment, multiple footballs, cones, and small goals Note: If you don't have SAQ equipment, cones will work just as effectively for the various exercises. What will exercise layout look like? See illustration below How do I execute this exercise? • Set up grid as per the diagram. The area for the 4v4 section is applicable to stage of development of your players. Place two goalkeepers in each goal in the grid or you can keep free. • Divide group into two teams. Players from Team A are placed behind cones A and D, players from Team B are placed behind cones B and C. • On the coach's FIRST whistle, one player from each team on each cone must manoeuvre through their SAQ exercise before they are permitted to enter the 4v4 grid. • First player to reach the grid receives a ball from the coach who is located outside the 4v4 grid. Players must try and retain possession until their teammates enter the grid. • On the coach's SECOND whistle, next player from each team must manoeuvre through their SAQ exercise before they are permitted to enter the 4v4 grid. • Once they enter the grid each team must complete a set number of passes (hand passes or kick passes) before going for a goal on either side of the grid. Progressions: • Limit plays of the ball i.e., one hop or solo • Can't pass back to player you received the ball from TOPIC: SPEED, AGILITY AND QUICKNESS (SAQ) WITH SMALL-SIDED GAMES ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 2: SAQ WITH 4V4 COACHING CARD C B D A Coach
