4 v 4 Game Each team gets 5 goes to get a score by passing ball through each line before shooting. Team with most scores wins. Chain of play with players in defined positions on the pitch (GK/DEF/MF/FWD). Aim is for each team to complete 3 passes up the lines (while being contested) before shoot.
Use full length pitch. Create evenly matched teams. Players stay in assigned zone and position (GK/DEF/MF/FWD) for a few iterations. Ensure goalkeeper finds his man and strikes ball to open side. Ideally low/hard to the wings. Ensure defenders (including forwards on opposition kickout) are marking and positioned to intercept incoming pass. Ensure receivers are moving into space to avoid interception, and making themselves visible and audible. Ensure players with ball look up to seek out teammate for pass before releasing the ball. Take on tackler if no good pass exists.
