Dutch Square Movement


Objective:

To always have a supporting player on the left and right side of you. That there is always two options when holding possession. 

Coaching Points:

  • Emphasis the level of commitment it takes to support, but also to get the ball.
  • Providing enough support so that one defender can only block one passing lane.
  • To provide depth and levels to your attack to support defending if possession is lost.

Players who are looking to be successful will:

Collect with their back foot, open up hips to face both options, and check over their shoulder before receiving the ball.

Implementing the Overlap Run


Objective:



Player one will find their pass, player two will dribble at the defender as player one overlaps player two on the outside. Player two should yell "Hold, hold, hold" while overlapping and once around the shoulder they yell, "Now!" This allows the overlap run to get the ball with space and time or create a great distraction for the defender to cheat and block the outside pass leaving the middle open for a shot. 


  • Remember, the defender's priority is to contain and hold the most dangerous threat.
  • Dribbling inside will allow your player space to overlap

Three Man Weave


This furthers the process of the overlap and bringing the premise of the dutch square movement into game like practice.

Ball starts with the middle player and they can pass to either side and follow their pass to an overlap. This gives the new attack with the ball options on both the left and the right. This process repeats itself down the field and keeping the ball in the middle of the field.
