Community | Defence to Attack Transition

DESCRIPTION

Preparation:- Set up this defence to attack exercise with 2 teams of 4-8 players each.- Have 1 goalie in a large goal, and small goals high and wide.- Field approximately half a field, but smaller with less players. Execution:- Play starts from the goalie passing to a defender.- Defending players must attack wide towards the small goals.- Offense attacks towards the big goal. Quality:- When attacking from the back line, defenders should look to use width, and avoid moving the ball directly in front of their own goal.- Defenders should look for opportunities to quickly counter attack.- Defenders should act as an accordion, spreading out wide with the ball, and condensed without the ball reducing opponent scoring chances.- Remember, encourage successes! Progression:- Add a neutral player who is on whichever team that has the ball.- Add a central line that all defenders must be past for a goal to count. Total time estimated:- 10 minutes for this defense to attack drill.
