Why 4V4
In 4V4, the responsibilities are very clear. All tasks are covered, and none are shared, which keeps things simple during soccer drills and match situations. These elements produce a natural process which gives the most efficient training for young kids.
A recent study conducted in England compared 4v4 with 8v8 games and concluded with the following results in favor of 4v4 games:
- Increased number of passes by 135%
- Increased number of scoring attempts by 260%
- Increased number of 1v1 encounters by 225%
- Increased number of dribbling skills by 280%
4v4 is easy for young players to understand and allows for freedom of expression = Enjoyment of playing. More individual initiatives are used. Basic tactical awareness is developed.
