Overload Game with Change of Area

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players

Setup

Pitch: Eight cones form two areas 15 metres apart.

Equipment: 8 cones, 1 ball and bibs if required.

Players: Two teams, spread across the two areas.

Procedure

  • The start is a 4 vs 2 in one area; the team with the overload tries to keep the ball within its own ranks.
  • If the team that is outnumbered wins the ball, it tries to pass it into the other area to its own team-mates.
  • If this succeeds, two players each from the red and the blue team move across into the other area at high speed, and the overload game starts again — now the red team has the overload.

Tip

  • After the change of area, quickly create width and depth in the area.
  • Carry out the change of area at maximum speed.
