SMALL SIDED SOCCER
TRAINING
The GIG Soccer philosophy is built around developing players through small-sided, game-realistic environments that mirror the demands of real football. By focusing on 4v4 formats, players are constantly involved in attacking, defending, and transitioning moments, which accelerates their decision-making, creativity, and technical skill. This approach prioritizes learning through play, encouraging confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving in dynamic situations. The result is a more engaging and enjoyable experience for players, where they develop a deeper understanding of the game and the skills needed to succeed in any team setting.
The Small Sided Soccer Academy, coaches players through simple, easy-to-understand practices that teach the key principles of attacking and defending using small-sided games like 2v1, 2v2, and 3v3. Each session is designed to mirror real-game moments while keeping the learning environment engaging and accessible for every player. Our coaches provide clear, age-appropriate guidance to help players develop decision-making, positioning, and teamwork in realistic situations. This approach ensures every player is actively involved, constantly learning through play, and building the foundation to become confident, intelligent footballers.
Our coaches are experienced in working with foundation phase age groups creating a fun, supportive learning environment where players of all abilities feel safe to explore, experiment, and be creative. With small group sizes of just 8 players per coach, each participant receives more individual attention, more opportunities to connect with teammates, and significantly more repetitions on the ball. This setup ensures players are actively engaged, building confidence, improving skills, and enjoying every moment on the pitch while developing a love for the game.
