4 mini pitches to be set up on a typical 60 x 40 yard training area, i.e. Cregagh Community Centre, Finaghy Sports Zone, Hillsborough Village Centre. If a full size pitch is available 4 mini pitches can be set up in either half.
Rotate players so that everyone samples each game and plays against different opposition. Were possible try to keep players in groups based on ability and age. Although, if monitored, players playing against children who are a year or two older shouldn’t effect greatly and benefits may be noticed over a set period of time.
See the diagram below for set up procedure. Our pitch coordinators can adapt each pitch to play a certain game. For more details visit the Sessions / Games section.
