Overlap Passing Pattern (25 mins)

Organization: 10 x 10 square, one person on each cone with two on cone where ball starts

Instructions: A passes to B. B passes to C. C then drives into the space in the middle of the square while B provides a passive defender and meets C in the middle. While C is dribbling, D makes an overlapping run around C and receives a pass from C.

Rotation: Go where you pass (A -> B, B -> C, C -> D, D -> A)

Coaching Points:

Attacking the space in the middle to draw the defender in

Keeping shoulders square to the defender to disguise pass

Using both inside foot across the body or same side outside foot as passing options

Timing the overlapping run to get the ball while in stride

Communication of the overlap (yelling overlap or hold)

Progressions/Regressions:

(P) Start ball from B and work reverse (b -> a, a -> d, d -> c, c -> b)

Conditioned Game (35 mins)

Organization: 30 x 20 with 5 yard width channels on sides, 3v3 or 4v4 in middle with nuetral players in channels

Instructions: No defending in channels, if attacking team passes to player in channel it is their teams ball and they can have a player enter the channel. One point for a goal in the stream of play, three points for a goal off of an overlap. Rotate nuetral players as game progresses. Nuetral players cannot score.

Coaching Points:

Timing the overlapping run

Putting yourself in a good position to receive the ball

Switching the field

Quality of pass to make for effective overlap

Nuetral player recognizing when overlapping player is not the best pass to make because of shifting defense

Progressions/Regressions:

(P) Nuetral player can dribble into field and even score when passed the ball, but must return to channel once the ball is not at their feet. This should provide a more gamelike situation where the defenders are forced to challenge the nuetral, thus opening up the overlapping player. Still no defending in channels.

(P) Defending team can have only one player defend in the channel
