Transition Game 4 vs 2 in the Double Area

  • Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players

Setup

Pitch: Eight cones lay out three squares.

Equipment: 8 cones and several balls.

Players: Three teams of four players each.

Procedure

  • The drill starts in one of the two outer squares with a 4 vs 2 with two touches.
  • From the sixth touch the team in possession may switch areas with a pass into the third square; the two other players of the defending team may not intercept this pass.
  • After the pass into the other area the two other players of the defending team push up out of the middle square, and play continues 4 vs 2.
  • After six passes the area may be switched again. The team receives one point for every pass into the other area after at least six passes.
  • If the team with fewer players wins the ball and plays a pass to the team-mates in the middle square, the two teams swap possession and positions.

Tip

  • One defender goes to the ball, the other tries to intercept the passes.
  • The combinations should be quick, as there is a numerical advantage.
