Finishing in Overload

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point, End
  • Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

• 6 cones to mark the field
• 2 goals
• at least 5 balls

Procedure

The offensive (green) team starts in a 2 vs. 1 situation and tries to score as quickly as possible.

After each scoring attempt (goal/miss), one additional offensive player (with a new ball) and one additional defensive player enter the field. This gradually transitions to a 3 vs. 2, 4 vs. 3, 5 vs. 4, and eventually a 6 vs. 5 situation.

If the defending (red) team regains possession of the ball or the goalkeeper saves it, they initiate a counter-attack towards the opposite goal.

Once all players are on the field, a 5-minute free-play period ensues. Afterward, a new round begins with the 2 vs. 1 setup.

Tip

Coaching Points
