Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 10/18 - U15 T2 - Fitness & Transition

Transition Principles

Transition A-D Principles

1. Immediate pressure on the ball to regain possession, force mistake, or prevent the opponent from playing forward

2. Get organized and balanced asquickly as possible

3. Delay the opponents’ attackwhen outnumbered

4. Players that aren't pressing, be ready to support when possession is regained

Transition D-A Principles

• Exploit the opponent whenunbalanced/disorganized
• Pass or dribble forward (Push defensive line up to support and be compact behind the ball)
• Create passing lines
• Keep the ball when you can’tplay forward

Rules

• Ball starts/Restarts with the red and blue #1's.
• If the ball crosses the blue teams goal line, the 2 blue players that are on the field get off, and 2 new blue players come on with 1 ball. Same rules for the red 
• The #10 only joins in when their team is attacking/bringing a new ball onto the field of play
• 4 minute intervals. Rotate the #10's each round
