Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): TRANSITION #6

4V2

4V2 TRANSITION

Three teams of four players

One team plays 4v2 in a square. The defending team has two other players in the center of the square

The third team has one-two players in each open square

If the team of four players versus the lone defending player make five consecutive passes, they play any of the other three squares. They then move one-two players into each open square. The defending team send another two players from the center to defend. The player receiving the ball is immediately joined by his other three teammates to play 4v2

If the defender wins the ball, the coach serves one of the open three squares an the team that was attacking in the 4v2 now transitions to defend. Two players sprint to defend and the other two players go into the center of the square. The defending team now moves one-two players in each open square

TRANSITION: 4V4 +3 MANCHESTER CITY

Two teams of four player inside the gird with three neutrals. The attacking team attempts to obtain 8-10 consecutive passes for a point. Neutrals have two touch maximum. Center neutral must stay on line dividing the grid. If the defending team wins the ball, they attempt to play out to either outside neutral. If successful, they become the attacking team in the center and the other team of four now defends

Once the attacking team loses the ball, they need to immediately transition to win the ball back and prevent the defending team from playing to the outside neutrals
