I am working with a young team and I want to introduce L cuts and V cuts.  We have played a number of small sided games but they still struggle with moving to get open.  I would need to intially teach the cuts but to incorporate it into a game like setting would I use a 2 on 2 game and than move into 4 on 4 variations.   Any other ideas?


Thanks in advance

I play keep away-type games to focus on passing, receiving, cutting and pivoting skills without worrying about dribbling or shooting. I also start with advantage games (5v5 with 2 all-time offense to make it 7v5 on offense) or games that produce advantages (person who commits turnover steps off and does two push-ups or some other nominal punishment to create a small advantage for the offense). Then I move to even-sided passing games and then into regular small-sided games. 

I also play 2v2 out of a pressing situation with no dribble with the objective to advance the ball from baseline to baseline by making v-cuts back to the ball.

I like the small-sided games for this too. I also really like doing it where each offensive player only gets zero, one, or two dribbles. Because the guy with the ball can't just keep floating around, it requires that the cuts of the other offensive players have to be more deliberate.
