Overload practice (20 mins)

Overload practice looks at adding additional players on the outside where they are locked into certain areas of the field in wide areas. These players are working off one or two touch and must combine with a central player before playing into target player (gk)

Movement betwee central zones is restricted to start with to one player out of possesion/in possesion depending on the success of the practice.

Teams objective is to bulld and play through two zones at least to then play into target player. After a short period of success begin to encourage shots at target and look to score goals. Defenders look to defend areas of the field and win possesion back. If transition occurs teams look to counter attack and score goals. Pass conditions can be intrduced or one touch finish.
