4v4+1 Creating Overloads

4v4+1 Creating Overloads:

Obj: Improve player's ability of understanding how to create & exploit overloads in order to play forward.

Timing: 4x2 Min Games

Set Up: Pitch set up in a 24(w)x20(l) grid with two mini goals set up on each end, and discs splitting the field in half vertically. 

Scoring/Rules: Each team is restricted to two people defending in each vertical half. Otherwise free flowing 4v4 game. Neutral can go to either side of the field. 

Block 1&2: Only neutral can go on both sides of the grid

Block 3&4: Free flowing when attacking - only two defenders per one half of the grid

Coaching Pts: Create attacking shape, create options to player forward, timing of overload/movement to utilize overload (combination or overlap)
