5v3, Transition
5v3, Transition
Set Up:
The teams play 5v3 in the end zones, looking to switch the ball over to the other side after making five consecutive passes. When the ball is switched, the defenders must follow it over and re-form the 5v3. When the attackers lose the ball, they become the defenders and play re-starts in the opposite end zone.
Coaching Points:
1. Anticipation – If the ball is about to be turned over, start moving before your opponent does.
2. Concentration – Do not ‘switch off’ with a change in possession. Continue playing.
3. Team Defending – The two defenders in the central zone must move as a unit.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Play 5v4 or 5v2 with a one touch limit.
Progression 2 – The attacking team must make ten passes before changing the ball.
Regression 1 – Play 5v2 in each zone.
