I have never thought passing 5 times before shooting was a good idea because no one gets anything out of it. The other team just quits.
Here are some ways to make it more difficult to score when up by 5 or more
-
Change the number of players (add a player, losing team) Subject a player, winning team.
-
Shots from outside the box
-
Only score on crosses
-
Off foot only
-
Someone who hasn’t scored a goal must score
-
Best players sit
-
Must do…( dribbling move, short-short-long, pass back)
-
I always ask the team who thinks they are the worst keeper and put them in goal after X number of goals. In this league it was 5. Competitive/travel teams it was 7,8, 9, or 10 (depending on goal differential in the league or tournament).
