4 against 4 man coverage

  • Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

• 2 goals
• Cones to mark playing field
• Divide 4 against 4 and form pairs

Procedure

It is played 4 against 4 + 2 goalkeepers on 2 goals. Since this is about the endurance area, the 4 vs. 4 is carried out with permanently assigned opponents. The pairs (e.g.: A 1 against A2) basically play 1 against 1, since they can only be attacked by the respective assigned player. This ensures a lot of movement (endurance training).

Tip

Coaching Points
