KEY TO THE DIAGRAMS
ACL Soccer 4 v 4 Small Sided Games (SSG’s)
Introduction
In recent years, the 4v4 method has rapidly increased in popularity
however this method is certainly not a new one.
The method was introduced by the Dutch Football Association back in
the 1980’s under the guidance of Rinus Michel’s, the creator of total
football. The Dutch recognised the decline in street football and the
damaging effects it would have on developing players in future
generations. This is how the 4v4 method was born and it’s widely
known as “the Dutch way”
In this manual there are over 60 different 4v4 games. The games are
tried and tested with both grassroots beginners and top youth players
in professional academies. The games are designed to stimulate the
players and lead them down a path of learning – all part of guided
discovery. These games bring the 4v4 concept into a new era and will
develop your players in a fun, player led environment.
Below is a list of benefits for the 4v4 method
• No coaching, the game is the teacher
• Simple to set up
• Simplifies the choices in possession [pass, dribble, shoot]
• More player participation
• Different games bring different problems to solve and skills used
• More touches of the ball
• More passes attempted
• More 1v1’s attempted
• More goals scored
• When used, keeper participation is greatly increased
• No refs
• No results recorded
• No positions, just footballers
• Children take responsibility

• Two keepers
• One team play with all four players on the pitch
• The other team play with two players on the pitch and two wide
players
• This set up gives the team different tactics both in possession
and when defending
Blue team
They have all four players on the pitch so in possession they need to pass
the ball quickly in order to create an opening to score a goal. In defence,
this team can now pressure quickly as they have the extra players and
attempt to force the red players to play inside and not towards their wide
advantage
Red team
In possession they need to try pass out wide quickly. This enables them
to get another one of their players into the game; the receiving wide
player can choose to dribble down the outside unopposed or dribble onto
the pitch and attempt to score. In defence, the red team must try to drop
off and reduce space for the blue team to exploit

  • 3. ACL Soccer 4 v 4 Small Sided Games (SSG’s) Introduction In recent years, the 4v4 method has rapidly increased in popularity however this method is certainly not a new one. The method was introduced by the Dutch Football Association back in the 1980’s under the guidance of Rinus Michel’s, the creator of total football. The Dutch recognised the decline in street football and the damaging effects it would have on developing players in future generations. This is how the 4v4 method was born and it’s widely known as “the Dutch way” In this manual there are over 60 different 4v4 games. The games are tried and tested with both grassroots beginners and top youth players in professional academies. The games are designed to stimulate the players and lead them down a path of learning – all part of guided discovery. These games bring the 4v4 concept into a new era and will develop your players in a fun, player led environment.
