Overlapping Run After a Passing Combination

Pitch: Four cones mark the positions; there is a goal at one end.

Equipment: 4 cones, 1 goal and several balls.

Players: One player with a ball in the middle, one winger at the starting point and one defender, whose position is filled in rotation. Plus a goalkeeper.

• The player on the ball plays a pass out to the wing on the move.
• The winger cuts inside with the ball towards the oncoming defender.
• The winger plays in the overlapping team-mate on the wing.
• After the pass, the passer moves into the middle and receives a return pass or a cross from the overlapping player.
• The passer finishes first time with a shot.

Variations:

• Run the drill on both sides of the pitch.
• After a few rounds, let the defender defend actively.
