TRANSFER BOXES







The Game:

Click here for large diagram

  • In each box, the attacking team plays keepaway from the other team.

  • If the defending team steals the ball, they try to play it to the other box where two of their teammates are waiting.

  • When the pass is made, the two players who stole the ball quickly follow their pass in to support.

  • The other team then send two players in to steal the ball back.

  • Play continues to transfer from one box to the other.

  • If the ball goes out of bounds, it goes over to the other team for a kick-in or throw-in.

Coaching Points:

  • Passing and receiving
  • Support

  • Transitions

  • Team attacking and defending shape

Variations:
  • Attacking team gets a point if they split defenders with a pass.

  • Team that gets the most passes in a row without losing possession wins.
