2v2 Game Management

Develop decision-making, tactical awareness, and strategic play in small-sided games.

Setup: - 8 players participate in a 2v2 format within a designated zone. - The game features 4 goals to encourage quick transitions. - Each match lasts 5 minutes. Execution: - The game starts as a 2v2. - When a team concedes, they are replaced by two new teammates. - The team with the most goals after 5 minutes wins. Progression: - Teams can add an extra player for 30 seconds to create a 3v2 advantage. - This can only be used once per game. - Discuss when to use the numerical advantage—should they deploy it when chasing a goal or defending a lead? - Encourage players to communicate and adapt their tactics based on the scoreline.
