Rotations and Overloads

To develop player understanding of positional rotations and overload creation in build-up and attacking phases.

Communication and Awareness • Players must recognise when and how to rotate to create overloads without losing positional balance. Timing of Movement • Avoid rotating too early or too late. Synchronised movement unlocks space. Use of Third Man • Encourage bounce passes and third-man runs to break the press. Support Behind the Ball • Always maintain a support structure to recycle or reset play. Quick Reactions in Transition • Immediate counter pressing and awareness of the ball zone.
