4v4 + Target Players with 2 Goals
4v4, 4 vs 4, 4 on 4, soccer
This is a great 4v4 soccer game that teaches players to play into their target player. This adds a more realistic twist to the normal 4 on 4 soccer game.
Drill Setup
Once the goal is made the attacking player who passed to the target player now becomes the target player and they switch roles. The defending team takes possession and the game continues.
- Add a third window in the center of the end line.
- If you want to focus on target players you might instruct the players to not rotate and allow one player to work as a target player longer.
- Vision - players should be able to look up and read the game with their eyes since the number of players are limited. Player's heads should be on a constant pivot.
- Communication - make sure players are communicating both verbally and non-verbally.
- Support - make sure players are using the entire playing area (width and length) to get into good supporting angles. Create passing options that allows the receiving players the most time and space.
- Appropriate use of 1st touch
- Appropriate use of short or long passing
- Changes in the direction and speed of play
- Create goal scoring opportunities
4 vs. 4 Defensive Game:
- Good Defensive Principles - pressure, cover, balance
