Getafe 3 Coloured Possession

Instructions/Setup:

In this drill, three teams of three players each engage in a 6v3 possession-based exercise. Two of the teams always maintain possession in a 6v3, working the ball around to retain control and create opportunities. The defending team, consisting of three players, must focus on regaining possession and preventing the teams in possession from switching the play.

Once the defending team successfully wins possession, they transition to join the team in possession. The team that lost possession will then transition into defense and attempt to regain the ball. This drill emphasizes continuous transition, quick thinking, and effective ball retention.

Coaching Notes:

• Possession Awareness: Encourage the teams in possession to focus on quick, accurate passing and movement to maintain control. Players should scan the field constantly to identify passing lanes and support options.

• Defensive Pressure: Defenders must apply pressure quickly and efficiently, staying compact to force the attacking team to make mistakes. They should look to intercept passes and close down passing lanes.

• Transition Speed: Once possession is won, defenders should immediately transition to attack, keeping the tempo high. Quick decision-making is essential as the team must shift from defense to offense within seconds.

• Communication: Players must communicate constantly, both when in possession and when defending. Clear communication ensures that everyone is on the same page and helps maintain team shape, especially when transitioning.
