8 against 8 in four quarters of a field half

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point

Setup

With cones, one half of the field is divided into four equally large quarters. Two teams of 8 players each are formed. Four players per team go together in one game area, so that four against four can be played in two of the four quarters.

Procedure

The execise is played, with a ball, in one of the quarters 4 against 4. With a pass directly into the neighboring field to one of his teammates, the game can be relocated and a point won at the same time. The second option to play against your teammates from the other team of four and to score points is to play a pass in one of the empty quarters. There the ball must be run by a teammate of the other team and must be controllable. The pass recipient may only start in the field after the pass has been played. The team that is not in possession of the ball constantly tries to conquer the ball. Note: First practice with a ball, later you can add a second ball.

Tip

- A freewheel and combination game should be practiced and the width and depth of the playing field used. - Triangles have to be formed again and again to offer play stations. - The team without the ball tries to block the pass routes and rooms skillfully and puts constant pressure on the player who owns the ball and his teammates. - A long game in a narrow space should be avoided. Therefore, page changes or passes should be played regularly in a different square. - The allusion stations should be in an open play position (outline in the back) so that you can always keep an eye on the next one. - This game form requires an enormous amount of running and understanding of the game and is characterized by constant communication and an interplay between the squares. - This form of play trains the short pass game, play in tight spaces and quick zone changes. - 9 cones
