4 vs 4 Transitional Game

The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!

DESCRIPTION

Goalkeeper of the defensive team begins with a ball out to the attackers, which acts as a cue for the defensive team to begin pressing. The attacking team must quickly try to get a shot at goal, either through the initial pass if the defensive team does not step out quick enough, or through a penetrative pass beyond the defensive line.


As soon as a goal is scored or the ball ends up out of play (or in the goalkeepers hands) the defending team transitions to become the attacking team, while the other 4 players must quickly recover their position to defend their goal.


Can incorporate a 5 vs 4 situation to train overload situations defensively, or have one side composed of only defenders constantly rotating so they only deal with the defensive transition phase.

COACHING POINTS

  • one of the attacking players must make a penetrative run beyond the defensive line in order to stretch their shape, while others can offer support in possession with a ball into feet
  • emphasize to players that they must communicate to create a narrow defensive shape, then transition into a more expansive attacking shape once the defending phase is over
