Organization:

Area: 18y x 15y 

Set up field with three-yard-wide gates in each corner. Attackers on one side of the field, defenders on the other side. The 2v2 starts with a pass from one attacker to the other.  The attackers scoring by dribbling the ball through one of the two gates. The defenders can do the same after winning the ball; score by dribbling through one of the two gates.  Switch sides after each turn.  A turn is over when a goal is scored, or the ball goes over the endline. When the ball goes over the sideline, play restarts with a dribble or pass. 

Game: Players keep track of the amount of goal scored, individually or as a team. 

Variation: The defenders start the 2v2 with a pass to an attacker. 

Focus Points:

• Dribbling and passing technique.

• Changing direction

• Keep the field wide

• Go for the pass or the 1v1 move? 

• Explode after making a 1v1 move. 

• Pass and move for combination play or overlap. 

• 1v1 defending skills: sprint, stalk, bite.

• 2v2 defending skills: pressure, cover

• After winning the ball, explode and quickly go forward to score. 

• After losing the ball immediately defend and try to win the ball back.
