4v3, Transition
4v3, Transition
Set Up:
Fourteen players are set up on a large split field, playing 8v6. During the drill, the attackers play 4v3 in one half of the field, looking to change the ball over to their teammates in the other half. Three defenders are stationed in a central zone, looking to steal passes and defend in the other half when the ball gets changed over. When the defenders win the ball, all six players are free to use the entire field to maintain possession. If the ball is put out of play, the drill is re-started by the Feeder.
Coaching Points:
1. Curve your approaching run and force the play towards the sideline or into a corner.
2. Take away the easy short passes to the nearest attackers. Force the thru pass.
3. Be active in the central zone. Move with the play and don’t be a spectator.
Progressions:
1. Limit the attackers to 3-5 passes.
