Coaching Sessions

CONTINUOUS COUNTER-ATTACKING

In Possession

This is an extremely high tempo session that focuses purely on counter-attacking to create overloads and fast transitions to set up as many scoring opportunities as possible. The objective, as the counter-attacking team, is to transition from defence to attack and to flood the attacking zone as quickly as possible, using the overload target players if needed to break the opposition down and score goals.
