In this session we work on your team's attacking movement. Rather than running in straight, easy to defend lines, teach them to cross-over, switch and overlap.
What's in the session?
To start things off we have some bread and butter passing drills - to get them running and working on their touch. After this we then test your players' mental agility with some more complicated passing and overlapping exercises before finishing with a full pitch game.
By overlapping and running behind one another your players will successfully change the point of attack, making full use of the width of the pitch and finding new space to drive into.
