026 - Fast adjustment from offense to defense movements

Level: High

This training unit focuses on improvement of fast adjustment from offense to defense movements. Following a warm-up running exercise combined with an adjustment task and a coordination drill, the players practice how to quickly react to signs during the ball familiarization phase. The goalkeeper warm-up shooting is followed by a series of exercises in which the players practice immediate adjustment from offense to defense movements in 2-on-2, 3-on-3, and 6-on-6 situations, similar to the real game. A closing game completes this training unit.
