4v4 with target players and mini goals
A high-tempo game in a small area that simulates transition and fast attacks, with a target player at each end to play off.
Watch the sessionAim
Test and develop the ability of the team to play forward at maximum speed, using a target player at each end. The target player links the attack: receives the ball, lays it off and lets the joining players get to a quick finish.
How it runs
The game demands quick decisions, sharp runs in behind and many intense actions: sprints, changes of direction and runs to join the attack.
Setup
- Pitch size: 20 x 15 meters
- Two mini goals at each end
- A target player at each end (the goalkeeper), who plays with both teams as support
- Two equal teams, plus a neutral player (joker)
Coaching points
- Think forward: look for the pass in behind as early as possible
- Quick decisions, with as few touches as possible
- Use the target player well: pass to the target, then move straight away
- High tempo and intensity, with many sprints and fast reactions
- Transition from defense to attack: react at once after the ball is won or lost
