2v2 To Four Goals

This is one of the most important games for our younger players to understand how to move off of the ball and how to possess the ball.

Set Up

  • Grid 10x10 yards with four goals
  • Two teams, 1 coach with all the soccer balls
  • The players who are not up stand just behind the end line in their goals so if a ball is played through the goal they can receive that ball and step onto the field 

Procedure

  • The coach plays the ball to one of the teams and they try to score by passing the ball through either of the goals on the opposite end line.
  • If a goal is scored the team that scored stays on the field and the team that was scored on leaves the field.  The next player up in each line from the team that was scored on step onto the field and attempt to score.
  • If the ball goes out of bounds, all the players are out and four new players step onto the field
  • We want the players who are next up to be active and if the ball is going out over their end line they move so they can receive that ball and begin play with that ball.

Key Points

  • Circular movement off of the ball
  • Move after you pass the ball
  • Recognize when the dribbler is going to turn support
  • Read the space created by the defenders

Variations

2v2 With Support Targets

2v2 With Attacking Targets

2v2 With Wide Targets
