6v2 Transition Game (10 mins)

Transition to Goal

Split your group into two teams of 6. 

In one half of the grid there will be a 6v2 situation (blue vs red), the other 4 players are in the opposite side.

The blue team need 3-4 passes (adjust based on ability of players) before they can score in one of the two goal in their half of the pitch. 

The attacking team get 1 point if they do that successfully.

The red defenders attempt to win possession of the ball and switch it other over to their team mates in the opposite end of the grid.

Once the ball has been switched they need to complete two passes before they can finish in one of their two goals for 2 ponits.

This will give a short period of time for two blue players to transition across and attempt to stop them.

Keep the score to make things competitive and rotate teams after a goal is scored.

Progressions

  • You must score 1 touch from a set from a team mate

Coaching Points

  • Speed of the transition after a turnover of possession.
  • Use of space 
  • Speed / intensity of the press 
  • Angles within the press to make play predictable
  • Role of the 1st and 2nd defender.
  • Support play

    3v2 / 3v3 Transition (20 mins)

    3v2 / 3v3 Transition to Goal

    Play begins with a 3v2 in the reds favor, play can start from any red attacker or the goalkeeper at that end (Coaches choice). 

    Once a goal is scored, a shot on goal takes place or the goalkeeper makes a save, the same game restarts but the blues now attacking the reds in a 3v3 situation going the opposite way.

    If either team wins possession in either phase they attack the other goal.

    Reset to the start of the practice after the blue attack is concluded. 

    Coaching Points

    • Speed of transition from attack to defense
    • Should we step up to attack the ball or drop off to defend space?
    • How can we slow the oppositions attack down?
    • Work rate and angles of pressing / defending
    • Make play predictable

    Progressions  
    • Make the game 4v3 in the second phase to overload the team in transition
    • Time limit on the attacking team 8-10 seconds to score.

    Breakout Transition AD (20 mins)

    6v2 > 6v6 Breakout Game

    Two teams of 6 players (Red vs Blue).

    Play a 6v2 in the smaller shaded area of the field with 4 player waiting on the outside of the grid.

    The Red team (team with possession) score every time they connect 4 passes within the 6v2 mini game.

    The Blues (defensive team) aim to win the ball back as quickly as possible and breakout to any of their 4 players with a pass or dribble.

    The game then becomes full field, with all players now active in a 6v6 situation.

    The blue team must  now score in whatever half of the field they play the ball into, they cannot attack the goals on the opposite end.

    If the reds win the ball back in the 6v6 they attack the two goals at the opposite end of the field.

    The game continues until a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play

    Switch roles after a goal is scored after the breakout.

    Method: 6v3 to a 9v7 including GK Game scenarios 

    Coaching Points

    • Same as previous slides
    Progressions

    • Adjust numbers and have one larger goal at each end with GK's.
