Playname : 7v7 game for overlapping


1

Organization:
  • Pitch 60x40 yds
  • Divide pitch into three vertical zones; 2x10 yd Wing Zones and 1 x central zone of 20 yds

    Structure:
  • 7v7 + Gk's
  • Play as normal, except wing zones must have only 2v1 in favor of attacking team at all times
  • Goal can only be scored in an attack that has performed a successful overlap play

    Aim:
  • Play the ball on the wings to take advantage of 2v1 situation to play overlap


  • 2

    Key Factors:
  • Width and Depth; there are more defending players in the middle than on the wings, so get the ball to the wings quickly (Shape)
  • 2v1 situation on wings, player in possession of ball (Trigger)
  • Deep player overlaps player with ball (Action)
  • Player with ball passes into path of overlapping run when overlapping player gets past 1st attacker's shoulder (Reaction)
  • Pass and run must be done fast to make sure that defender doesn't track run (Timing)

    Progressions:
  • Allow 2v2 in wing zones
  • Work on 2-Pass Overlap/Three Man Moves
  • Remove Zones and use rule that goals only count on attacks containing overlapping plays
  • Work on using the overlap as a Dummy Run
