James F. 3 teams - Transition Game (25 mins)

Transition Game/Bread and Butter!

Three teams of 3 or 4 (A, B, C) and two keepers (X, Y). Team A attacks against keeper Y. If they score, they then quickly try to attack keeper X. At this time, team B leaves the field and takes the place of team C who were the supporting players on the endlines, supporting both teams. The supporting players support for both teams and can move along the end line. They are limited to one touch one the ball. Have an ample supply of balls ready in each net.

COACHING FOCUS:

Ajax play this game at the end of each of their youth team practices. Every practice.

- When a goal is scored, please stronhgly encourage the transition be quick. Have players get wide left, wide right and deep. one player who scores offers the depth and sprints to get a ball back in.
