PRESEASON OVERLOADS PRACTICE

A good pre-season exercise covering fitness, overloads in attack and defending out numbered.

Rules:

The ball starts from the keeper and is played to 1 of the 4 attackers to attack a back 2, the 2 defenders in the attacking half can defend from the front but cannot get back until the ball crosses the halfway line.

On transition the game just becomes a 5 a side game (this drill is done on a 5 a side pitch)

When a goal is scored or ball goes out of play each player must touch their designated cone before they can get involved in the next ball

If the 4 players defending win and score a goal they become the attackers.

Possible Rotations: Each player can have a designated cone, or after each ball they can rotate 1-2-3-4 or don’t allocate them a cone and they need to communicate to their team mates what 1 they are touching (scanning involved).
