2v2 finishing between two goals

U12–U14 FinishingTransitions and pressing

Pairs play 2v2 for up to 45 seconds between two goals with goalkeepers in 25×20 m, then the next pairs come on.

C 25 × 20 m Team A Opponent Coach Pass Run Press
2v2 between two goals in 25×20 m: the pair in possession scores quickly; when the ball is lost, the closest player presses and the other covers the goal.

Rules

  • Waiting pairs stand beside each goal, two pairs per team
  • Each game lasts 45 s or until a goal; the coach then plays a new ball
  • About 8 actions per pair with 1–2 min natural rest
  • Indoors: handball goals, or mini-goals without keepers

To make it easier

  • 2v2 plus a neutral for the team in possession
  • 3v2 with a third attacker joining from the side

To make it harder

  • One-touch goals count double

Coaching points

  • Shoot as soon as the goal is visible
  • Follow every shot for the rebound
  • On a loss, nearest presses the ball and the partner protects the goal
