Full Back Overlap

Setup

You will require: 1 ball / 2 sets of bibs / 1 goal / 20 cones, Set up an area 2/3 the size of a pitch, split into two teams with bibs, One goal required at the end

How it works

Attacking team should have two wingers and two full backs at minimum, the idea is to work the ball to the wingers and then play through the lines to the overlapping fullback, then cross into box to score, If overlap pass is not available players recycle and switch the play to the other side
