Welsh way principles  

Key Principle: Depends on numbers 

Creating and Exploiting Overloads (In Possession) - Understand when and how to exploit a numerical advantage against the opposition.

• When and how to exploit a numerical advantage
• Find the Spare player
• Player movement to create the overload
• Interchange positions
• Commit the opponent (Ball speed)
• Can we create the overload centrally or out wide?

Defend the Overload (Out of Possession) - Understand when and how to deal with numerical advantages the opposition have.

• Recognise Opposition movement
• Press Quickly
• Protect the Middle
• Leave the furthest Players

• 2/3's of a full pitch.
• Two full-sized goals
• 16-18 Players
• Play 8v7 (including the 2GKs) + 1 Common Players
• Blue Team (In Possession) Playing 1-2-4-1 (Both Fullbacks & No.10 removed)
• Red Team (Out of Possession) Playing 1-2-3-1 (Both Fullbacks, 1 CM and No.10 removed)
• Single Common Player playing as No.10 for the team in possession.
• Play 2x5 minutes, each coach leading for 5 minutes.
  
• Cones/lines are already in place from specific practice. The Green tapered line will be removed but the other line will be left as a guide for players.

Explanation 

The coached team will look to create and exploit overloads before scoring, while the non-coached team will look at defending the overload. The team in possession can use the neutral No.10 player (when the Blues are in possession they have a 9v7 advantage, but when the reds are in possession they are 8v8). Once a team has scored play restarts with the Blue's Goalkeeper.

The SSG will reflect the 11v11 game, in terms of restarts like throw-ins, corners and goal kicks will be taken as normal. 

Conditions, Challenges & Targets

Condition- Players can move freely, but the team in possession must always occupy both the wide channels.

Condition- Only the team in possession can have multiple players in the wide channels.

Challenge- The team in possession to create overloads in the final 3rd by committing players forward.
