4v4 to four mini-goals: the opponents crowd the left goal, so the team switches the ball to the right where a teammate attacks the empty goal.

Rules

  • Two mini-goals on each end line, about 15 m apart
  • No goalkeepers

To make it harder

  • A goal in the goal opposite to where the attack started counts double

Coaching points

  • Look before receiving
  • If one goal is crowded, switch to the other side
