Field Set-Up

Thursday July 26 - Overlap

For tonight I'd like the focus to be on the overlap and movement off the ball - attacking and creating opportunities from wide areas.


Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Overlap 2

Overlap 2 (15 mins)

Equipment

- Balls, Cones

Organization/Implementation

- Organize grid as shown

- Try to avoid line ups - activity can be run with 6, 8, 10 or 12 players - try to get as many repetitions in as possible

- 1 takes a touch out of her feet and passes the ball to 2 - as the ball is in flight 1 starts her overlapping run

- 2 receives the ball and takes a touch/dribbles inside to create the space for the overlapping player

- It is VITAL to have 2 take her touch inside - this is a non-verbal cue to player 1 that the overlap is on

- It is an important element of our teaching to get players to understand that an inside touch is an indication that an overlap might be on

- 2 then plays the pass to 1 who has made her overlapping run

- 2 stays where she is and 1 dribbles to the end of the line where 1 is

- The activity runs simultaneously from both ends

Overlap 1 (15 mins)

3 Player Overlap

Equipment

- Balls, Cones

Organization/Implementation

- 6 or more players

- Set up grid as shown

- 1 passes the ball to 2 and begins overlappin run

- When 2 receives the ball she takes a touch inside to create the space for the overlap

- 2 passes the ball inside to 3 and 3 passes the ball to 1 (overlapping player)

- 2 and 3 switch places and get ready for the next ball from 4

The sequence starts again with the ball going from player 4 to 2 etc.

Coaching Points:

- 1 can take a touch and get the ball out of her feet as a cue to 2

- 2 can check away to create space and come back towards the ball

- 2 must take a touch inside - non-verbal cue to 1 and 3 that the overlap is on

- 3 can check away and come back to the ball once they see that 2 takes a touch inside

- 2 passes the ball to 3

- 3 passes the ball to the overlapping player (1)

- 1 goes to the 3 spot

Mixed Bag

Equipment:

- Balls, Bibs, Cones, 2 goals

Objectives:

- To place field players and goalkeepers in decision-making situations with attacks developed from the wings

Organization:

- Use half a fuled with a 5-10 yard channel each side of the field

- Mark a half-way line, 3v2 and a GK in each half. Offside applies in each half.

- Players must stay in their own half. Wingers are neutral and stay in channel.

- The channelled wingers have no allegiance - they play for both teams (in attack). If there are not enough players then only have a single nautral player in each channel

- When the ball is in the hands of keeper, GK always throws the ball to the flank players

- Wingers can pass to one another, overlap, and cross the ball, can play ball in/out to the three attackers

- Change around the players periodically to give experience in the different roles (except GKs)

Coaching Points:

- GKs must work on accurate throws to wide players

- GKs should be encouraged to "switch" play - catch from one wing, throw to the other

- GKs must communicate their requirements and organize the defence

- Field players should be encouraged to make good attacking runs (near and far post)

- Timing of runs of players is critically important - particularly the near post run

- Defenders need skillful cooperative defending against greater numbers (3v2)

Challenge:

- Outscore the opposition; send in good quality crosses from the flanks


Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): 6 Goals - Overlap

6 Goals - Overlap (15 mins)

6 Goal Game w/ Overlaps

Equipment

- Balls, Bibs, Cones

Organization/Implementation

- 6 goal game - use nets if possible, if not use cones

- 2 equal teams, 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, 7v7

- The size of the grid will be determined by the amount of players as well as their age and ability

- 2 equal teams play a 6 goal game inside the grid

- The outside/flank zones are free areas - players are not allowed to defend in these areas

- The objective of the game is to try to score points in the outside goals or central goal - the outside/flank goals are worth 3 points, the central goal is worth 1 point

- Attacking players are not permitted to simply stand in the flank area - they must make overlapping runs into these areas via a 2 or 3 player overlap combination

Coaching Points

- Players should look to play "what's on" and not try to manufacture opportunities that don't exist or that are unrealistic

- If the point(s) are available at the central goal then they should take it

- The overlapping player should be moving while the ball is in flight

Progression

- The flank areas are "live" and defenders are allowed to defend in those areas

- Change the scoring system

- If they can dribble the ball and stop the ball on the line in front of the goal or cones then that is worth 5 points - if they pass the ball into the goal or in between the cones then that is worth 3 points
