PSG Style Defend And Transition

Setup

You will require: 1 ball / 2 mini goals / 2 sets of bibs / 12 cones, Use half the pitch for your age group with 1 goal, create a 10x5 meter zone just inside the half with 2 mini goals on the halfway, Add two cones 2 meters each side of the area, Split group into 4 defenders and 5 attackers, 3 defenders out of the zone and one in, 4 attackers in the zone and 1 out wide by the cone

How it works

3 defenders start with the ball out of the zone and have to score in one of two mini goals on the other side, they must be patient and look for the gap, if attacking team wins the ball they transition to an attack on the main goal, if defenders score the coach plays to wide player to instantly start the transition

Coaching points

• Be patient

• Stay goal side
