4v4 game

10x10 box inside the grid

1 player from the team in possession can leave inside grid to receive.

Both defenders (team out of possession) must remain inside the grid.

1 point is scored when the ball is played to the opposite corner from the inside area - teams can connect corner to corner from the outer area to keep possession however this doesn't score points.

Coaching Points

- Body shape to receive (half turn)

- Awareness of ball, space, team mates and opponents

- Weight/accuracy of pass - type of pass

- Positive first touch when able to play forward

- Support play - movements and angles to receive -- 2nd attacker provides support, 3rd attacker provides width, or height by moving away from the ball (Mobility)

- Combination play - react to your pass - "give it and go"
