4v2 "Don't get Split" (15 mins)

Set Up:

10yd squares

6 Players per square (4v2)

One ball per square

Goals with keepers in place

Instructions:

The ball must stay in the area.

4 players (BP) try to keep the ball, and "Split" the 2 BPO players.

2 players in BPO try to win the ball, while not getting "split".

If a "split" pass is made, the BP team can try and score in the nearest goal.

If the 2 (BPO) win the ball, they can shoot at the nearest goal.

If the ball goes outside the area, the 4 (BP) players must touch a corner before they can touch the ball again.

The game goes for 60 seconds

2 new (BPO) players start a new game in the middle

Players keep score how many goals their team can score.

Everyone gets 2 turns in the middle

Variation/Progression:

Harder (BP) - Smaller areas, longer game time, one touch, one player out waiting 3(+1)v2

Easier (BP) - Larger areas, Shorter game time, unlimited touch, 5v1

Key Coaching Points:

(BP) - short sharp passes, stay on your toes, quick feet, ready to defend if there's a turnover, slide up and down the line, look for splitting passes - but don't force it!

(BPO) - Stay close together, don't get split, one press - the other covers, be ready to attack as soon as you win the ball

Coaching comments:

Where can you be to help?

What's the body position of the other person?

What's about to happen next?

Why didn't that work & how can you do it better?

Why did they score & what could you do?
