Your goalie saves the ball, and now it’s time to turn defense into offense. It starts with the goalie and transitions to field players who must catch, turn and look for the next pass — all the while running forward with their heads up.
We want players to turn to the outside — away from the middle of the field — to successfully advance the ball. This can be a challenge. They do not always know where to go. Some struggle in transition.
This game addresses these shortfalls in athlete development. “Jailbreak” gives players a guide of different places they can go to help their goalie successfully clear the ball and ways to transition the ball down the field to score.
