Screen 5

6v6 transition- Team B will attack team A, if they score then they recieve a ball from the GK and try to get back into middle neutral zone, and then attack team C on opposite side. If team B does not score then team A trys to get into the middle neutral zone and attack opposite side C. Working on constant transition from defence to attack and attack to defence. Focus on when to keep posession and when to attack with speed. Also learn when to counter attack quickly to get into neutral zone to gather players to attack opposite side.
