Small-sided games have a definite developmental impact on players. They encourage players to have more involvement because fewer players are playing in a smaller playing area. Using constraints to shape players learning during small-sided games creates a better, more enjoyable experience. More touches on the ball, more opportunities to make decisions, more actual play. Numerous small-sided games are shared on the membership site that will help you shape your player’s offensive and defensive skill and decision-making development.

BDT provides learning opportunities that help players to improve their decision-making skills, not just their technical skills.
