4v4 with agile Wingers

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

• 2 big goals with goalkeepers

• 6 cones (to mark the field)

• 4 players of a team inside the field, 2 players outside the field (act as wingers)

Procedure

Two teams play against each other in a 4v4.

The two teams can further position two players outside of the attacking wings who will act as wingers.

These wingers have three different opportunities to enter the game after receiving a pass from their teammate:

• Direct pass to a teammate

• Dribble into the field (the player that passed the ball takes over his position)

• Cross

Value of Goals:

  • Winger assists a goal or scores himself, after dribbling into the field = 2 points
  • Goal after winger's cross = 3 points
  • All other goals = 1 point

Tip

Coaching Points:

• Advise your players to switch the point of attack with a diagonal ball frequently, as the distant winger often has more time and space than the winger closer to the ball

• Winger: Good first touch and fast dribbling when entering the field
