5 vs 5 on Four Cone Goals

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players

Setup

Set up a cone rectangle with 2 cone goals on each of two opposite sidelines of the rectangle. Two teams of 5 players each are formed.

Procedure

The two teams play against each other. Each team defends 2 goals on one of the two sides and tries to score on the other team's side. Variations:n Unlimited touchesn 2 touchesn 1 touch Alternative: Play on youth-size goals or full-size goals.

Tip

- The focus of this game form is on practising defensive movement patterns with the follow-up actions of 'quick transition from defence to attack' and ball control after winning the ball. Additionally, the team in possession practices off-the-ball movement with the aim of scoring a goal. - The objective for the defenders is either to win possession or to push the ball carrier into a non-dangerous area to the side and block his passing lane toward the goal/teammate through double-teaming or tucking in. The midfielder tries to double-team or block passing lanes. - Triangles must constantly be formed to create passing options. - Both teams should be in constant motion. Players continuously try to make themselves available as passing options for their teammates. - Getting stuck in a tight space should be avoided. Therefore, switching play and passes in behind should be played regularly. - This game form requires enormous running volume and tactical awareness and is characterised by constant communication. - 12 cones
