The purpose of this transition game is to create various situations that the defenders must recognize and communicate with each other. The attackers must also read how many defenders and adjust their attack. Once the coach tells the next group how many attackers go they can spread out across the blueline to give better support. You really could do this up to 6-5 if you have a lot of players but with one team up to 3 is good.
