Attack to Defence Transition

Use half a pitch with two goals. Divide players into two teams. Start with one team in possession attacking towards a goal. When they lose possession, they must immediately transition to defend, either pressing to win the ball back within 5 seconds or recovering into defensive shape. The opposition counter-attacks to the opposite goal. Emphasise the immediate response when possession is lost.

• 1Press immediately when possession is lost, do not allow thinking time
• 2Nearest player presses the ball, others cut passing lanes
• 3If the ball cannot be won back quickly, recover into defensive shape
• 4Communicate loudly during transitions, organise quickly
• 5Sprint to recover positions, maximum intensity required
• 6Recognise when to press and when to drop off

• ✓Add conditions like must win ball back within 5 seconds for bonus point
• ✓Create zones where counter-pressing is mandatory
• ✓Include numerical advantages or disadvantages
• ✓Add transition triggers (e.g., lost tackle, misplaced pass)
• ✓Progress to full-pitch scenarios with multiple transition moments
