Small-Sided Games in Youth Soccer: The Juventus Method

At Juventus Academy Houston, we use Small-Sided Games to boost young players’ tactics, technical skills, and intensity. These reduced-space drills keep kids engaged while helping them develop faster in youth soccer.

In this short video, the Italian Juventus Academy Coordinator, Luca Corona, explains the benefits of incorporating Small-Sided Games into youth soccer training.

Why Small-Sided Games Work:

- Tactical Focus: teaches positioning, decision-making, and teamwork

- High Intensity: keeps players active and engaged in every drill

- Technical Skills: improves passing, dribbling, ball control, and quick thinking

From Small-Sided to Full Fields:

Players take the skills from Small-Sided Games onto regulation-sized fields, improving game awareness and overall performance.
