Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Wave Game - Overloads (Quick Transitions)

Drill

The session

Red 1 will recieve a ball from the GK and go into a 1v1 with the

blue GK. Then the blue team are then given a ball and are 2 v 1

towards the goal . As soon as the ball goes dead a 3rd ball is

fed into one of the wide players (Red) to create a 3 v 2

in the opposite direction.

Players keep adding in waves until there is a 5v4 in centre.

At this point restart and ensure everyone is rotated to a different part of the sequence..... also alternate teams so that if reds had a 1v1 ensure blues now have 1v1.

Challenges, Conditions & Targets

Be brave with the overload / numnerical advantage and encourage the players to be creative in how the manipluate the defensive

players. Encourage creativity in 1v1s and the 2v1 / 3v2. Challenge the players to come up with the solutions to how the beat the

defensive players whilst guiding them via different intevention strategies. Potentially limit the players touches / time on the ball especially in the attacking half. You may as the coach want to manage a countdown to make the practice as realistic as possible.
