2v2, Large Goals

Organization:

Area: 20y x 12y

The teams start on opposite endlines with a line of players at each post. The defending team passes the ball across the field to the attackers to start the 2v2. After each turn, the players switch sides.

Game: Keep track of the goals scored. Which pair scores the most goals?

Focus Points:

• Dribbling technique.

• 1v1 moves.

• Passing technique. 

• Shooting technique.

Attacking

• Keep the field wide. 
• Go for 1v1 move or pass?
• Creative runs, overlaps, give and go.
• Finishing. 
• Value the ball.

Defending

• First defender runs to the attacker with the ball, but not too wild. Don't get beat with a pass or 1v1 move. Pressure the ball.
• The second defender gives cover to the first defender. 
• The first defender can force the ball to the sides or to towards the other second defender. 
• The first defender can turn the 1v1 into a 2v1, when you count the goalkeeper as a defender, by cforcing the attacker with the ball to the sideline and making the angle smaller and smaller to help the goalkeeper.
• Win the ball back at the right moment.

• Protect the goal. 
• Block shots.

Transition Defending to Attacking
