In this drill we are working on attacking transition – it is a position and possession game with the defenders pressing and forcing play to try and win the ball in a version of the classic 4v2 Rondo.
Coaching Objectives
- Speed of play – If the speed of the ball is wrong the chances of losing the ball are much greater
- Body Position to Receive - Open body, receive on the back foot to enable taking less touches
- Check Shoulder - Create good habits by checking before receiving the ball
- Anticipate movement of the pass
- Possession players should keep a good distance between themselves
- Play passes that split the defenders
- Defenders one press one cover the pass
