3 Teams of 3-4

2 Teams are on Attack, one team is on defense. The teams on attack are trying to move the ball using a specified skill like a hit, overhead, sweep etc. Teams must stay on their side of the 25. The defensive team, may play anywhere in the space. If defense wins the ball, they become attack and which ever team turned it over becomes the defense. Once the attack completes 10 consecutive passes, rest. Take out of bounds free hits.

5v3 MF Transition (15 mins)

5v3 Transition

  • Adjust numbers based on how many players you have (6v4, 4v2, 3v1)
  • Adjust the possession box to challenge passing skills or defending skills
  • Add conditions, 2 touch, pass and lead, etc
  • Adjust the numbers of who can join the play to goal ( after 5 passes 2 attackers go to goal etc)

One Team Starts with the Ball in the Possession area with a 5v3. The team in possession is trying to complete 5 passes. If they complete 5 passes they transition to score at either goal. All players in the possession box can transition to goal. If the defense wins the ball once the attack goes to goal, they can transition back into the possession box to earn 5 passes, and go to goal. 

If the defense wins the ball in the possession box, they can immediately transition to either goal where they have an additional player. If a team scores a goal they restart with possession in the possession box.
