Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): overloads

warm up - patterns

1. dribble halfway and pass out - after the pass, player pulls to the left and bounces it back to the receiver who then plays forward and follows his pass and joins opposite end - 2 minutes & change direction (player receives on right side) 

2. ball played into a middle target man, he sets back and ball is then played out wide to a winger/full back to play forward to other side.

Coach points: 

If more then one touch - backfoot front foot

Slow ball out - one touch to play 

angles - take ball on back foot and play forward 

ball played in front of wide man/runners not behind 

overloads possession

3v3 plus 2 - team in possession can only play with outside players on their team - outside players can move across the line to give a passing option. 

Aim is to build play centrally while playing end to end when passing lanes appear - end man once he receives can either play ball back inside on 1/2 touches or else dribble inside to an area to look to create an overload.

Coaching points: 

3 players inside (eg:6,8 &10) don't be in same line - stretch the pitch to create space to play/run into

Early decisions on outside - where is the space/ where can we create a 2v1 scenario?

Play foward when we can - find new spaces.
