Overload Counter-Attack 4v2 to Big Goal

Instructions

Coach plays a ball into the defending pair in the deep zone. The moment they win it (or the coach signals turnover), four attackers who started facing their own goal turn and sprint forward to attack the big goal in a 4v2 transition before the two defenders can recover and organize.

Learning Points

Speed of transition from defense to attack, first pass out of pressure, exploiting a numerical advantage before it disappears, decision-making in the final third under time pressure.

Variations

Add a second, wider goal so attackers must also decide which goal to attack, not just how.
