transitions, attacking, defending, finishing · U12+
The pitch is divided into three zones. Play starts in the central zone as a possession phase. When a team completes 5 passes, they attack the opponent's goal (phase 2). If the defending team wins the ball, they counter-attack to the other goal (phase 3). Each phase requires different tactical awareness.
The team recognizes the different phases of play and adapts. From possession to attack and counter-attack — each phase requires a different tempo. Understanding transitions as a whole.
Do you recognize the phase change — and does your style of play change? Phase 1: possession, phase 2: attack, phase 3: counter — does the tempo differ? Who leads the team through the transition between phases?
