Passing with Overlapping I

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

6 cons are set out as shown. One player starts at each cone. The players in the middle start with a ball.

Procedure

Groups A, B and C:

Player C passes to B who passes to A and overlaps player A on the way towards the middle cone.

Player A then passes to C who lays the ball off with his first touch in space for B to runs onto.

After that C takes up A's position and B dribbles to the former position of D. Groups D, E and F have the same passes and runs. I.e. F dribbles after his run to Position C. D to position E and player E runs to position F.

Tip

- 6 cones.

- Start by running the drill slowly and then speed up. The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from the ball before receiving the ball. The drill can be extremely tiring when conducted quickly with only six players.

- Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic.

- The reciever should call for the ball.

- Pass and run timing is important

- Players often run faster than their pass.

- Don't forget the runs.

- Demand good strength of pass and pass precision.

- Pass precision is more important than pass speed.

- Concentration must be held at all times.
