| Uses of Small-Sided Games in Training (Part 2 of 4) |
From the June 23, 2004, issue of The Technical Area
by Vince Ganzberg
NSCAA Regional Technical Director
| This is Part 2 in a four-part series that outlines the uses of small-sided games in training. Part 1 focused on attacking and defending in 2v2 and 3v3 situations. Part 2 will deal with 4v4 training games, Part 3 with 6v6 games, and the series will wrap up with training suggestions for 8v8 games. |
4v4 Training Games
4v4 to Lines
Two teams play 4v4. Each team is trying to score by getting across a line.
A) Only score after playing thru target player
B) Score extra points if overlapping player dribbles ball across
C) After scoring, go other way, now target player learns how to play in back and vice versa. |
 |
4v4 to Two Goals
Two teams play 4v4. Each team attacks two goals, each team defends two goals. |
 |
4v4 to Three Goals
Same as above, except now add a middle goal on each side. This game is good for both attacking and defending. |
|
4v4 to Two Large Goals
Groups of four. Two teammates go to midfield and other two players stand by goals on end. The players by goals will start the game by playing a ball to one of their midfield teammates. After ball is played in, teams attempt to score on opposite goal. |
