4 v 4 Line Soccer

Using slightly different sizes of goals, differing methods to score, and slightly altered size and shape of field can guide players to solve problems by emphasizing certain aspects of play.

Each team has a line to defend and attack.

Score a goal by dribbling the ball over any portion of the line that your team is attacking.

The size of the field is the same as a standard 4 v. 4 game, but it is turned sideways. The wider, shorter field allows for maintaining good shape (diamond), but also creates many good 1 v. 1 situations which challenges the player's dribbling skills.

Players need to evaluate and identify when to dribble and pass. This variation highlights:

The correct attitude (when to take a risk aggressively) and the technical development and execution of dribbling.
