About this cycle

This cycle is centered on creating overloads on the flanks to make a difference. The focus is on overlaps, fullback runs, 2v1 situations, and using width to stretch the opposing block. The sessions emphasize combinations in the channels, one-two passes, and the ability to bring danger from the flanks to cross and finish actions.

Cycle objectives

  1. Create an overload on the flanks to advance.
  2. Overlap and support the ball carrier in the channels.
  3. Execute combinations on the wings.
  4. Challenge the defenders to cross and create chances.
