What are Invasion Games?
"Invasion games or sports" are team games in which
the purpose is to invade the opponent’s territory while

TRANSITIONS
Transition is a term used in an invasion games for
when the ball changes possession. It is an important
concept for both offensive and defensive strategies,
and it is also important to transition quickly- when
transitioning from defense to offense, your team may
have the advantage of attacking before the other
team can set up their defense. When transitioning
from offense to defense, your team can set up your
defense quickly and prevent the other team from
scoring.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
STRATEGY
VS
TACTIC
In short, strategic planning is used to set destination and how you
are going to get there, and tactical planning outlines the specific
actions you are going to take along the way.
Strategy defines your long-term goals and how you’re planning to achieve them. In
other words, your strategy gives you the path you need toward achieving your
team’s mission.
Tactics are much more concrete and are often oriented toward smaller steps and a
shorter time frame along the way. They involve best practices, specific plans,
resources, etc. They’re also called “initiatives.”
