Access more drills4v4 and off-the-ball runs into space
With this 4v4 enhanced by off-the-ball runs and duels in the box, this drill is perfect for working on both offensive and defensive technique.
On a half-field, use cones to mark out a central area of 30x30m and ask your goalkeeper to position themselves in the goal. Then form 2 teams of 4 players.
The exercise starts with a possession game in 4v4 in the central area. The objective for the team in possession is to play into space to a forward making an off-the-ball run outside the central area, and towards the goal. Only one defender from the opposing team can follow the action, leading to a 1v1 duel with shooting on the large goal.
Ideal for working on dribbling, passing, and defensive reflexes. Be sure to emphasize your advice on changes of pace, runs, and the movement of your forwards.
