TOPIC / THEME: Team Attacking in the Attacking 1/3 - Overlapping in a phase of play

Effective use of the overlap to penetrate in the attacking third

DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE:
A phase of play demonstrating the use of the overlap in the attacking third
ORGANISATION:
	9v9 using 2/3 of a pitch. 2 target goals for the defenders to attack should they win the ball. The three yellow defenders and blue striker must stay in half but when a full back plays into the midfield or a striker he can enter via the pass and follow rule. Once the ball is in play the attacking tem attempt to score by combination play. The coach should work on how to overlap when it is on and alternatives to overlap when it is not. This should improve decision making. The practice should stay live as in a real game.

KEY OBSERVATION FACTORS:

Create Space ( width and depth) Quality of passing (Time, weight, accuracy and disguise) Angle of runs Timing of runs End product and follow up

NOTES:

This is a simple introduction to the concept of exploiting space created in the attacking third by the effective use of an overlap.
