1v1 Defensive Transition Practice | Birmingham City Professional Soccer Training

Chris Latham, at the time U13-14’s Lead Coach at Birmingham City FC’s Academy, delivered a session focused primarily on defensive transition, in the first practice Chris worked on players reactions when losing possession and defending around the box.
Keeping the games in a small area increases the chances to get more success with turnovers and make sure players had the opportunity to regain as soon as possible. Players were exposed to lots of opportunities to emergency defend around the box, looking to block shots and crosses.
Players had to develop their transition from attacking to defending quickly and think about what happens if they lose the ball in this area of the pitch, are they in a position to stop a counter-attack, how can they support their team in and out of possession? It’s important for players to stay focused and think about the game as a wider picture.
