Multi Direction Game

Formation: Blues: 4-4-2 |Opposition Team: 4-4-2

Description

Line up - 6 v 6

Both teams are set up to be a MF4 with 2 fullbacks each and a goalkeeper is allocated to each goal.

The Game

The game will start from a goalkeeper in either goal, who will play the ball to a team of which ever colour he wants, and then the team on the ball must attack the opposite goal. A goal can only be scored once the attacking team has played into a wide area (be that dribbled or passed into the area) Once the ball is in a wide area a 2v1 is created (because only 1 attacking player can join either full back in the allocated wide areas at a time) the ball must be played within the 2 wide attackers before it returns to the rest of the pitch (again either dribbled out or passed out.

Progression - 1 extra defender is allowed into the wide zone, this will help prevent players taking to long on the ball in wide areas and hopefully increase tempo. It also will encourage players to switch play rather than attacking down the same side every time. The quicker the play they will realise the easier the 2v1 becomes.

Objectives

Can the tempo of the ball be quick and sharp?

Movement off the ball to create space for others

1 or 2 touch passing
