Transition

A coach had a question about today about transition from attack to defense and why his team was not successful in this area. For the most part this comes down to experience and exposure to game situations, also sometimes players take their roles on the team very literally. Defenders not only defend but at times when possible can be a vital role in attack also it is the same for attackers who support in defence. Can your players attack and defend as a team?

Here are some activities you can do in practice to improve your teams transitions, team attacking and team defending.
