2v2 to four corner goals

Two against two on a small field with a mini goal in each corner. Each team defends two goals and can score in either of the two at the other end, so a crowded goal means switch to the open one.

Coaching points

  • Nobody near you? Dribble straight at the nearest goal.
  • Goal crowded? Switch the ball to the other goal.
  • The player without the ball moves to the open side.
  • Aim: plant foot pointing at the goal, strike the middle of the ball.

Equipment: 4 mini goals, spare balls around the field, bibs
