Sorry, just seen this Ross.

We haven't planned on it. We will see what footage we can get and either put a thread together or open a discussion.

Anything of particular interest to them?

Hi Nick,

We may change the title of this, as the practice is more aimed towards defensive organisation than transition. The transition is used to maintain the flow of the practice (enabling quick setup as teams change roles). You are right in that it is difficult for the defending team to recover, but it does create a habit of sprinting back.

The two yellow bibbed players are passive. This is to put the defensive and midfield units in game scenarios where central progression has been prevented, and play has been forced around. This is the purpose of the practice, in our opinion, how the defensive and midfield units defend when play has been forced wide. Obviously, we can't see or hear the actual technical coaching detail, but the practice provides this constant scenario. 

Let us know if you have any further questions.

For those who like to preregister early, we have set up next week's episode of Talking Everything Football.

We will cover the attacking transition models with the Tactx team, who are split on their preference. We will delve into the 'retain' and 'risk' models in more detail.
