3 Zone Counter Attack 'Flying Changes' Game20 mins

3 Zone Counter Attack 'Flying Changes' Game (Positive Transition)

Set-up: 30x60 area divided into 3 zones. 2 end zones are 30x20 yards and central zone is 30x20 yards. Each team has 4 inside players and a goalkeeper defending a full size goal.

-One team starts with the ball (Blue) and aim is to quickly pass the ball to a player in the end zone and score (Through Ball). When the attack is finished, one of the defending team's outside players (black in diagram) dribbles a ball onto the pitch and starts a new attack in the opposite direction (the black defender moves to the back of line on either side). Her team must move quickly from defense to attack in a 4v3+1 situation (the blue player who jsut shot the ball tracks back as the +1).

-Practice should be continuous and uninterrupted at a high tempo. the players rest when they are outside.

Rules:

1. Only 1 player from each team is allowed in a n end zone at any time.

2. Free time and unlimited touches for all players / Limit the time for finishing the attacks to 10 seconds and limit the players to 2-3 touches in the end zones.

3. Other players can join attack but must be one time finish. (both attackers would have to track back on counter)

Coaching Points: Play the ball into spaces so that we attack quickly. Take advantage of the space and speed of movement against the defenders.
