Underload Overlap Delivery

Objectives

• -Create crossing chances with an overlap
• -Deliver quality balls from wide areas
• -Coach the timing of the run outside

Setup

1. 1A wide channel with an overlapping start cone behind it in a 38 x 28 yards area.
2. 2Add one extra defender to the working area and mark their start position with a flat cone.
3. 3Balls at the winger's cone, keeper in goal.

Coaching instructions

1. 1Winger receives, drives inside and sets for the overlapping runner.
2. 2The overlapping player delivers first time or after one touch.
3. 3Two attackers arrive at near post and penalty spot.
4. 4The attacking group starts a player short, so every entry pass has to be sharp.
5. 5Defenders score a point for every clean turnover; attackers need three clean end actions to win the round.

Common mistakes

• -Overlap run too early
• -Crossing straight to the keeper
• -Trying to beat two players instead of releasing early
