No Speech on the Pitch
Eoin Morrissey
Age Range: 7 to 11
Start the game you want to play, be it a small-sided or full-sided one, on a shortened pitch or not.
Let the game run for a few minutes to get the flow going and then introduce a single rule... NO SPEECH ON THE PITCH! That includes...no calling for passes, no reminding team-mates to mark opponents, no speaking to the referee, no issuing instructions of any kind.
Should any player break the 'no speech' rule, award a 'free' to the opposition.
This game forces players to look up when passing and to make themselves available for that pass. Only play for about 5 minutes periods [alternate with normal game].
