Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Transition

Basic (10 mins)

Coach plays ball to Team A in Square 1.

They try to keep possession while two players from Team B (shaded area) enter and try and win the ball.

When Team A make 5 passes or more, they pass the ball into Square 2.

The two players from Team B who were closing down(shaded area), now go back to their own square (2) and help their team keep possession for 5 passes or more, while two players from Team A enter and try to win the ball.

Play is continuous for 3/4 minutes, then the players rest and the Coach counts the scores (one point for every completed transition pass).

.

Progressions:

Make two-touch in the squares.

Change number of passes before transition pass.

If ball is won by the defending team, they can pass to their own team and play carries on instead of starting again from the coach.
