Goalkeeper of the defensive team begins with a ball out to the attackers, which acts as a cue for the defensive team to begin pressing. The attacking team must quickly try to get a shot at goal, either through the initial pass if the defensive team does not step out quick enough, or through a penetrative pass beyond the defensive line. As soon as a goal is scored or the ball ends up out of play (or in the goalkeepers hands) the defending team transitions to become the attacking team, while the other 4 players must quickly recover their position to defend their goal. Can incorporate a 5 vs 4 situation to train overload situations defensively, or have one side composed of only defenders constantly rotating so they only deal with the defensive transition phase.
one of the attacking players must make a penetrative run beyond the defensive line in order to stretch their shape, while others can offer support in possession with a ball into feet emphasize to players that they must communicate to create a narrow defensive shape, then transition into a more expansive attacking shape once the defending phase is over
