Blitzes


Blitzes can be organised as an addition to the current fixtures programme in your county. They provide an opportunity for small sided, fun games and allow all players an opportunity to participate. Blitzes also provide you with an opportunity to utilise and observe your new and current referees. The below blitz format will apply to any age level from juvenile to senior.

Benefits:

  • Small sided games promote development

  • Fun environment and player focused

  • More touches of ball by all players

  • Emphasis on player development rather than winning or losing

  • Opportunity for new clubs to become involved with small number of players.



Sample Format for the Day:
The below are some sample formats for blitzes depending on the number of teams per group. There is also a section included if you wish to provide some coaching for the players during the blitz or an opportunity to meet the county players etc. Depending on the age group and size of the teams, the pitch size can be modified accordingly. (Eg.) 7-a-side, 9-a-side, smaller goals, shorten pitch etc.
