2v2 Overlap

Set Up

Area 40x50

Drill

The Feeder begins play with a pass in to the deepest attacker, and all of the players release from the cones with the first touch. Play continues 2 v 2 to goal from there. If the defenders win the ball, they can score in the two small goals set up just outside of the penalty area. On goals and balls put out of play, the Feeder re-starts play with the next set of attackers and defenders

CP

Take the first touch towards goal and force the deepest defender into a bad decision. As soon as the first touch is made, the second attacker should look for the overlap run. Make a positive first touch towards goal and look for the quick shot
