Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve Combinations (one-two), Scissor movements, Switching from attack to defense and vice versa and Mutual covering.
Field Preparation:
 6 players; 2 v 2 with 2 goalkeepers.
Playing area: 30 x 20 yards. Standard goals.
Coaching Points:
Playing two men against two on a small pitch gives players a chance to progress by means of simple inter-passing movements. They have to be accompanied by continual changes of pace if they are to prove effective.
Having outplayed the opposing defenders, the player with the ball should take every opportunity to shoot at goal, in circumstances which realistically correspond to those in a competitive match. When a player loses the ball, he
must be covered by his partner to prevent the opponent who now has the ball from having a clear run at goal.
Method
Two players play against two, each side also having a goalkeeper (or an extra player who can also act as goalkeeper).
The pair with the ball try to outplay the other pair by inter-passing or by individual moves.
Variations
This exercise can also be played with small goals one metre wide.
