Number of Players6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
Pitch: Cones mark out the playing area; two goals stand at the ends.
Equipment: 2 goals, cones and several balls.
Players: Two teams of four plus two goalkeepers. Each player is assigned a fixed opponent.
Procedure
The game is 4 vs 4 with two goalkeepers on two goals.
Because the drill targets endurance, it is played with fixed assigned opponents.
The pairs — for example A1 against A2 — essentially play a 1 vs 1, since they may only be challenged by the player assigned to them. This creates a lot of movement.
Tip
Demand a high tempo, especially towards the end of the drill.
