Overlaps in Fives, #1
Overlaps in Fives, #1
Set Up:
There are five players set up inside of the grid, starting at the cones. Player 1 passes up to Player 2 and makes an overlapping run to the opposite side of the grid. Player 2 passes square to Player 3, who turns and plays a thru pass to Player 1. Player 1 passes up to Player 4, who re-starts the drill in the opposite direction. Players 1, 4, and 5 continue across the grid in a shuttle fashion, Players 2 and 3 stay in the center and switch places with each turn. The players change positions every 3-5 minutes.
Coaching Points:
1. Hold the run and watch the play develop in order to time your runs correctly.
2. Player 3 must let the ball run by in order to open up with his first touch.
3. Make the thru pass when Player 1 reaches a square position.
Progressions:
1. Run the drill in both directions at the same time.
