Transition SGG

Ak Lakhani, U16 Head Coach and Head Of Foundation Phase Lead at Leyton Orient, finishes his Coach’s Pass session with a transition small-sided game.

Using 2 strikers, a diamond midfield, and 2 high fallbacks, players had to occupy the wide and middle zones.

Players had to think about how quickly they can react and recover when they are out of possession and plan their attack once in possession.

When in possession, it was important for players to scan and see where the overload was and transition to the wide/central areas

Using the concepts and combinations from the previous sessions, players were required to dominate 1v1 situations, dominate the ball and dominate numbers.
