Shooting & Attacking Overloads Waves

Set Up:

Double 18 

Players are positioned across three different areas of the practice.

To begin, one player will beat a mannequin, then try to score past a goalkeeper.

The next phase involves the same player combining with a teammate for a second shot on goal.

The player who began the practice will then drop out, with the player who performed the second shot becoming a defender

Two players from a different team – Team A  will attack 2v1 and aim to score past the opposite goalkeeper.

The final phase involves two players from the third team,stepping in with a ball to attack against the pair from the team that has just attacked.

The player who was defending 1v2 in phase two can now join in with the attacking team to create a 3v2.

Teams flip roles and responsibilities after each block.

The team that scores the most goals, wins
