7v3 Transition Game (20 mins)

Session Organization:

  • Field: 40x20 field laid out with a 5 yard wide channel in the middle. 
  • This is a 7v3 build up in possession game in which there are 2 teams. 
  • 7v3 in one end zone where the 7 attackers keep possession of the ball to play 8-10 passes 
  • After the passes, attackers play into one of the players positioned in the middle channel for a point. 
  • The middle player must then transfer ball across to opposite team to transition play. 
  • As the ball is transferred through or around the middle players the game shifts from one end zone to the other. 
  • The defenders transition to attackers whilst middle player ignites a immediate press and calls another teammate to defend with him. 
  • The player who loses possession becomes the new defender and is joined by 2 other teammates to win the ball back. 

Coaching Points:

  • Create space and get unmarked - Can you teach players to create width, length and depth.
  • Break Lines - Play through, play around, play over or play back. Can you recognize the moments to retain possession vs penetration. Teach players to be brave and take risks with their passes without fear to fail if they make a mistake.
  • Create and use Overloads - Movement of players to create numbers up situation.

Progressions:

  • Limit touches on the ball for team in possession, place small goals on outside for the defender to either score or transition the ball across middle channel.
