Continuous Wave Attack Transition

Objectives

• -Defend repeated waves of attack
• -Attack quickly against a settling defence
• -Build game-realistic repetition

Setup

1. 1A half pitch with attacking waves waiting on halfway in a 47 x 36 yards area.
2. 2Load a ball at each starting station so the next rep can begin immediately.
3. 3Balls with each wave, keeper in goal, two sets of bibs.

Coaching instructions

1. 1The first wave attacks the defenders and the goal.
2. 2The moment the ball is dead the next wave attacks immediately.
3. 3Defenders stay on for three waves before rotating.
4. 4As soon as one sequence ends, the next server plays in without waiting.
5. 5Run 4-minute blocks and count total completed sequences as a squad score.

Common mistakes

• -Waves waiting too long
• -Defenders not resetting shape
• -Long queues while balls are collected
