4 on 4 Escalation

The goal of this drill is to give kids the opportunity to try individual 1 on 1, 2 man game, and escalate up to a 4 on 4 situation

  • Put a goalie in the cage
  • 4 lines of defenders and offensive players were placed just outside the box (8 total lines)
  • Attack and Defense are behind the goal, midfielders are divided into offense and defense
  • To start the goalie passes a ball to the back left attack, that attack and defender go 1 on 1 and attempts to score
  • After the play is over, the goalie passes the ball to the back right attack and the first attack and defender are in play with the new attack and defender
  • After the play is over the goalie passes to the top left midfielder and its a 3 on 3
  • After the play is over the goalie passes to the top right midfielder and its a 4 on 4
  • When all four lines go the next group begins
  • Note: you can either rotate players or keep them in the lines they are in
  • Note: make sure you have midfielders play both offense and defense
