4v4 games and drills designed to improve passing, dribbling and shooting
Size of Field
Depends on the age of players. Can vary from 30 yd. x 20 yd. up to 40 yd. x 25 yd.. The goals are 8 feet wide.
The Team In Possession of the Ball
Can employ build-up by using the entire playing area in terms of length and width (spread out, possession).
Can learn and determine team shape, which, in a group of 4 resembles a diamond.
Can create goal scoring opportunities by taking action either individually or collectively.
When the Other Team Has the Ball
The aim is to prevent goals from being scored by getting behind the ball and to regain possession of the ball.
Simple principles of defending are reinforced and amplified since there is no spare defender or goalkeeper.
4 v. 4 Line Soccer
Variations of the 4 v. 4 Game
Using slightly different sizes of goals, differing methods to score, and slightly altered size and shape of field can guide players to solve problems by emphasizing certain aspects of play.
Each team has a line to defend and attack.
Score a goal by dribbling the ball over any portion of the line that your team is attacking.
The size of the field is the same as a standard 4 v. 4 game, but it is turned sideways. The wider, shorter field allows for maintaining good shape (diamond), but also creates many good 1 v. 1 situations which challenges the player's dribbling skills.
Players need to evaluate and identify when to dribble and pass. This variation highlights: The correct attitude (when to take a risk aggressively) and the technical development and execution of dribbling.
4 v. 4 The Dribbling Game
The Game
Same field as the "Line Soccer" game, a wide, short field. teams can score in one of 2 ways. Passing into an open goal or by stopping the ball on the endline between the two goals they are attacking.
What The Game Incorporates
Changes in the direction and speed of play due to the shape of the field and presence of multiple goals.
Decision making skills because the player has a variety of options at his disposal (dribbling, passing, "shooting", changing directions)
4 v. 4 The Passing Game
Since the playing area is longer than it is wide, the emphasis is on creating length (height) in the game. In this game, there is a premium placed on playing the ball forward early. The ball can be played early:
To a target player who is coming back for the ball with a defender behind them (as shown in diagram).
To a player running forward away from the server.
Stopping the ball anywhere on the line.
Passing the ball through an open goal.
Changes in direction and speed of play.
Appropriate use of firm touch.
Long and short passing.
The Game
While one team attacks the large goal, the opposition attacks either of the two smaller goals. When the team scores in one of the two smaller goals, they must change directions and take a turn at attacking the larger goal.
Attitude and confidence that is essential for scoring goals. (Large net)
Passing, shooting and dribbling skills required in the other 4 v. 4 games.
Transition awareness since the team can attack quickly in the other direction.
Team shape and the roles of each player because when there is a transition, the back becomes the front and vice versa.
4 v. 4 The Shooting Game
The priority of this game is shooting and scoring. Since the field is wide and short, players should be looking to shoot almost whenever they get the ball. Game played like a regular 4 v. 4 match.

A shot can be played with the inside or outside of the foot through the goal. The receiving player controls the ball behind his line and tries to pass the ball through the goal
(if by lack of control the ball rebounds into the goal, it does not count). As the players improve, increase the length of the area of decrease the size of the goal. Limit the touches to three or, as players improve, to two. Play the game for five minutes and have the players keep score.

|
|
Play 6v6+2 neutral players to small goals
Teams play with direction (one team has three goals to attack and three goals to defend)
Teams get 2 points for scoring on an outside goal and 1 point for scoring in a central goal
Progressions: Have the neutral players stay with a team (play 7v7). Limit touches in the different regions of the field if the players are dribbling too much.

Be patient, draw the defense in then switch the point of attack
Look to play the ball to space in front of the other outside mid or back (we want to get behind the defense)

Lack of pressure the back/mid cheats up the field
