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.
