4v4+4 Side Supports — Connect Adjacent Sides Before Switching
A four-sided possession game where one support player is fixed on each touchline. The team must connect two adjacent sides before it can score by reaching the opposite side.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Play 4v4 inside a 24x24m square with one neutral support player on each side. A point is scored when the team in possession connects one outside player, then an adjacent outside player, then reaches the support player on the opposite side without losing possession.
Coaching Points
Use adjacent sides to move the block before switching | Inside players create diagonal support | Outside players prepare the next pass before receiving | Do not force the opposite side too early | Change positions after each outside connection
Progressions
- Limit outside supports to one touch and allow defenders to press the receiving side player after the pass travels.
Regressions
- Allow two touches outside and require only one adjacent-side connection.
