Narrow, Tight-Angle Game | Combining with Bounce Players

Overview

• 8 players (2 per team × 4 groups)
• Field size: 20m × 30m
• 1 ball
• 2 goals (one at each end of the field)

Objectives

• Learn how to create a numbers-up situation in tight spaces by using bounce players
• Sharpen ball control and simple combination play in pairs
• Get players deciding faster and cleaner inside a small area
• Train quick switches into attack the moment you win the ball back

Setup

This is a 2v2 game on a small field where teams use two bounce players on the sides to go score.

１）Two of the four groups play 2v2 inside the field. The other two groups act as the bounce players on the sides.

２）The team in possession can pass to a bounce player on the side. Take the return pass, combine inside the field, and go for goal.

３）To finish, players have to get into the end zones within 5 yards of each end of the field.

４）The team that wins the ball flips straight into attack and pulls in a different bounce player for support.

５）Swap the groups every few minutes so everyone gets a turn both inside the field and as a bounce player.
