Coaching topic: Defending with a transition to attack

  • The red team must prevent the blue team from scoring.
  • Once the red team regains possession, they must attempt to score a goal in either of the mini-goals on the halfway line.

Coaching points: (Defending)

  • The red team should be in a defensive block in order to minimize space for passing opportunities.
  • Nearest red player to the blue player in possession should begin to pressure that player without breaking the defensive block. 
  • The red team should be facing towards the direction of the ball.
  • The striker should receive as little number of passes as possible.
  • If a red player becomes out of position, another red player should begin to cover that space left behind to maintain the defensive block.
