This exercise focuses on the outer players (in yellow) starting the simple passing sequence and continuing their OVERLAPPING run around the outside of the middle (white players). The outer players run through the drill a number of times before swapping with the middle players. The sequence runs from the outer players running with the ball as shown to the furtherest middle player who in turn lays it off to their partner in the middle who holds the ball as long as necesary before playing in the outer player who has continued their run around the outside (as shown). Upon receiving the ball the ball is then played into the path of the next player.
Coaching points relate to painting the picture of how the overlapping run applies during a match. Important points in relation to technique relate to: - Intensity - Sharpness of passing - Body position for the up-coming pass -
