Soccer Exercise
6 vs 6 with a Back Four
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Four mini goals stand on the halfway line; at the other end there is a full-size goal.
Equipment: 1 full-size goal, 4 mini goals and several balls.
Players: Two teams of six players each; plus a goalkeeper. Both teams play in a basic formation of a back four and two holding midfielders.
Procedure
- The game is played freely as 6 vs 6.
- The red team has the aim of passing into one of the four mini goals on the halfway line.
- The blue team plays towards the full-size goal.
- Build-up play always starts with the goalkeeper.
Tip
- If the ball is in the half-space or with the opposing full-back, the ball-side centre-back provides overlapping cover.
- Shift across compactly towards the ball.
- The centre-back can push through to double up as long as this does not create a numerical disadvantage in the centre.
- Double up with a slight stagger in depth.
- When doubling up, do not be too far away from the full-back, otherwise the 2 vs 1 turns into a 1 vs 1.
