2 teams play a 6v6 game, with a left and a right central zone marked out with cones.
In each of the central zones there should be 1 player from each team.
Players who are defending (on both teams) can only stay in their starting zones, whereas players who are attacking can run across zones to support the attack and create the overloads (2v1).
This game gives your players the opportunity to try and use the 2v1 skill in a conditioned game situation.
Once a goal is scored or possession is lost the teams should be given time to set up the same situation each time.
