  Joe Soccer by Gregg Thompson

   

4 Goal Game
 Passing / Receiving Game
4 Goal Game
 
 Playing ..
  • Split players into 2 even teams (play 5 vs 5, 6 vs 6 or 7 vs 7)
  • Mark off approximately 40 yards x 40 yard grid)
  • Make goals 3 yards wide (use cones or corner flags).
  • Place a goal near each corner of the gird (as shown in the animation)
 Coaching Points
  • Players play a scrimmage but each team shoots/attacks 2 goals and defends 2 goals.
  • Players should attack the open goal.
  • If one of the goals a players is attacking is defended by numerous defenders, the attacking player should switch the field of play by making a long pass to a teammate near the other goal and that player should attack the less defended goal.
  • It is important that attacking players provide field width and passing options to their teammates and DO NOT clog up one goal area.
  • By spreading out, the attacking players create space and passing points for their teammates.
 Competition, Variations& Restrictions:
  • Make uneven teams ( 6 vs 8, 7 vs 5, etc.). This ensures one team always has a numerical advantage so there should always be a player open to receive a pass and attack.
  • A team must complete 5 passes before shooting on goal.
