Attacking Overloads : 3v2 Overloads

This session encourages players to play with a quick tempo, to make clever movements and to break lines - i.e. try to get beyond the defender. It also tests players' decision-making as they are challenged to make the most of an overload situation.

Organisation

Position a large goal at 1 end of the pitch with 2 smaller goals/targets in either corner at the opposite end.
Equidistant, but slightly set back, from the 2 smaller goals – mark out a 2x2 metre/ yard ‘holding area’ (see diagram and video).
Mark out a curved line from 1 side of the pitch to the other with the start and end points being approximately 12 yards/metres from the goal line. GK’s take it in turns to go in goals.
Two defenders start on the goal line with 1 on each post. 2 defenders start in the holding area. Three attackers start on the edge of the curved line. Play begins when 1 defender passes the ball to an attacker. Both defenders on the posts need to rush out to close the attackers down.
One defender from the holding area can join in and help defend once the attacker has his first touch. Rotate the players including GK’s if you have more than 1.

Skill Development

Shooting, finishing, communication, dribbling, running with the ball, shot stopping, control.
