4v4 is the smallest manifestation of a real match.

4v4 is the optimum number for teaching in small-sided games. It has all of the necessary elements for children to experience real soccer without any duplication.

4v4 also provides the optimum numbers needed for all of the principles of play. One player is up top for penetration. Two are needed for width and one holds back to supply depth.
In 4v4 the responsibilities are very clear. All tasks are covered and none are shared which keeps things simple.

Small-sided games allow the players more touches on the ball. It also puts the player in a greater percentage of coaching moments. That means, not only does he have to deal physically with the ball more often but he’s also involved more mentally. His concentration must be greater because the action will be quicker; there is nowhere to hide. This is an important element in developing the playing mentality http://www.bettersoccermorefun.com/dwtext/mentalty.htm.
