Warm up- Transition (15 mins)

Organization:

Two 15x15 yard grids are created side-by-side as shown in Diagram (b) below. Target players are on outside of opposide grid. A 4v4 is organized in each grid as shown. Two separate games shown.

Instructions:

One player from the defending team must remain in the opposite grid as shown above. The other 3 teammates must attempt to gain possession from the 4 opposing players. This creates a numbers-down situation for the defensive team and forces them to work as a "unit" to regain possession. If the defensive team wins possession they must quickly switch the ball to their teammate in the opposite grid. Immediately they must travel to support the play. In the Diagram above, Player (A) has won possession of the ball and quickly passes to his/her teammate in the opposite grid. The reds will now transition quickly to support the play while the yellow team must send over 3 players to defend. Points are awarded for a successful "switch" and 7 consecutive passes.

Coaching Points:

(1). Work together to defend as a "unit"

(2). Attempt to regain possession quickly.

(3). Immediately look to switch the ball on gaining possession.

(4). Travel quickly to support the play.
