Transition to Goal

Organisation

Teams play 4v4 in shaded area (30x30yds). They must keep possession and play four passes before being able to pass into two forward players. The forward players switch from defenders and attackers depending on the team in possession. Once the pass is played forward two players from the passing team can join in to support a 4v2 attack on goal. Game restarts with a new ball into box by coach. If the defenders win the ball back they can pass back into the shaded area for their team to try and gain the opportunity to attack.

Variations / Progressions

- Change number of passes before transition

- option to dribble into attacking half

- Add in retreating defender after 10 seconds

Coaching points

- Possession vs Penetration in shaded area

- accuracy of pass forward

- angle, distance and speed of support

- Combinations in attacking half
