In this attacking session we work on the skills that are used in the 2v1, focusing in particular on when your support is on the right.
The key to making the most of the overload is knowing how to draw in the defender and then slip the ball into the path of your support player. For that reason in this session we practice running at defenders, using the open stick drag and lead passing!
By the end of this session your players should find that they are more confident when they find themselves in an overload situation, being able to eliminate the opposition with a well-timed pass into the path of the support player.
