Game Format 4 vs 4 with Dribble Goals

  • Age U6 - U13
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players

Setup

  • 4 cones to mark the field
  • 8 cones to set up 4 dribble goals
  • Divide into 4 teams of 4 players each

Procedure

Play 4 vs 4 with 4 dribble goals. A goal counts when a player dribbles through 2 cones with the ball at their feet. The team remains in possession after a dribble goal but must now play towards one of the other 3 goals. Thus, no team has assigned goals. Play 5 rounds of 4 minutes each with a 1-minute break.

Tip

Coaching Points:

  • Dribble with the non-dominant foot
  • Use feints, changes of pace, and changes of direction with the ball
  • Expand the playing area when in possession
  • Pay attention to providing options and making runs
