Transition play is obviously a huge component to a team’s success.
Small-sided games can be a great way to teach transition skills and principles. In the clip below, retired Hall of Fame soccer coach Brian McMahon shares his “Touchdown Drill”
He first explains the drill on a whiteboard. Here he covers the design, setup, and rules of the drill. This is a 4v4 drill played on a 20×24 yd field, where players are limited to two touches.
After explaining the drill, he uses practice footage to show how the drill is conducted.
