For overlapping runs your attackers need to be fit - this soccer drill is all about passing, then accelerating past the player you have passed to.
For overlapping runs your attackers need to be fit - this soccer drill is all about passing, then accelerating past the player you have passed to. Players should be passing firmly to feet, following the pass then overlapping on the outside. Make sure your players are calling names so the receiver knows which side the passer has run around. This soccer drill gives your players a good physical work out, as well as a good skills work out. The players are passing, running and playing one-twos. Overlaps are often accompanied in matches by a cross into the box, so you could incorporate this at the end of the soccer drill to extend it further.
