ANIMATION 5
This is the more advanced situation for full backs before the overlap. They undergo physical burden as well as tactical and technical work. They communicate better while working with the team in possession. Both full backs compete while sprinting. But the decision whether right or left back takes the next role depends on wether the ball in the right or left possession zone. This also obliges the players in possession to be aware of the closest full back and where they must send the ball next. After the finish of the attack, TRANSITION
ANIMATION 4
2 channels drill in which the players face more game like situation. Remember the drill is more about over laps. The 2 full back have to run the whole length of the playing zone till they reach their zone. The goal keeper passes the ball following the tactical instructions of his coach.

INTRODUCTION
The way we introduce skills to youngsters should be gradual with minimum pressure and maximum demonstration. This is a drill which we could utilise for that purpose. In a situation with 2-1 midfield formation, one full back is supporting at one side of the game. The purpose is to successfully pass the ball to the player with the bib, he passes to one mate, overlaps the gate, and receives a pass through that gate. Then he undergoes some pressure by the opponent waiting him outside before sending the ball back to coach at the zone of play. Same thing happens regarded to the other gate. When the team successfully does that, the play moves to the other side with the heart of many drills applied, TRANSITION.
