Our goal is to provide an enjoyable experience to all soccer players. Coaches, if you see that your team is more dominant and scores a disproportionate number of goals, you are advised to employ some of the following best practices to avoid lopsided games. The list is non-exhaustive by all means. Those measures will in turn challenge your players and allow the opposing team players to continue to be involved in the game. No one benefits when games end is a blow-out. It is at the coaches’ discretion to ensure fair play and good sportsmanship. 

• Focus on maintaining ball possession. This practice will help all players develop their foot skills with the ball.

• Make short passes. No long balls.

• Require a number of passes once the ball comes across midfield.

• Require the players to complete 5 or more successful passes before the team attempts a goal.

• Every player must touch the ball before the team attempts to score a goal.

• Players can only shoot with weaker foot.

• Only score from outside the goal area, a.k.a. the six-yard box.

• Every player starts in a different position every week.

• Modify team formation during the game, put high scorers in goal and defense. 

Corrective measures 

When a team goes up by 3 goals, the losing team can add one player to the field immediately and play up one player until the goal margin becomes less than 3. At such a time, the losing team should remove their additional player.
