Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Overload SSG

Overload SSG (20 mins)

Organisation:

30x20 yd pitch

Players split into 2 teams

Several balls available.

Instructions:

Both teams start off of the pitch by their goal. The first player in team 1 passes the ball to the first player in team 2 and they play 1v1. Once the ball is out of play the next player in team 1 joins the pitch with a ball to create a 2v1. When the ball goes out of play the next player from team 2 dribbles into the pitch to create a 2v2. This pattern continues until all players are on the pitch.

Rotate team 2 to start with the pass and have the overloads.

Coaching Points:

Decision making - when to dribble (not always the right decision) and where to dribble.

Awareness of what's around you? Where are your team mates / opponents / the space?

Confidence - try things without fear of failure. Be positive and back yourself to take players on.

Determination - if things don't go right, try to understand why and have the confidence to have another try.
