Double 4 vs 2

Pitch: Mark out a square of about 10 x 10 metres and divide it in the middle, so that two areas of 10 x 5 metres each are created. Behind each of the two outer sides stands a mini goal.

Equipment: Cones, 2 mini goals, bibs, balls.

Players: Two teams, the first with 7 players, the second with 4 players. With smaller groups 5 and 2 players per team respectively.

• In the upper area a 4 vs 2 is played for keeping possession.
• As soon as every player of the team in possession has touched the ball or a set number of passes has been reached, the ball may be played into the lower area.
• The passer or another player, agreed beforehand, moves up into the other area as well, so that a 4 vs 2 is created there too.
• If the team with fewer players wins the ball, it tries to finish quickly on the nearest mini goal, while the other team immediately goes into counter-pressing.

Scoring: Every change of area earns the team in possession one point.
