6v1 Overload Add Defenders Drill
This drill builds players' ability to think quickly and adapt as defensive pressure increases. Starting easy with six attackers against one defender, the drill gets harder each time a new defender enters. Players learn to recognize space, make faster decisions, and adjust their positioning as numbers change. The attacking team develops creativity and problem solving skills as they figure out how to keep possession against growing pressure. Defenders work on coordination and learn to press as a unit. The transition element is huge because when the ball changes hands, players must instantly switch their mindset from attack to defense or defense to attack. This mirrors real game situations where numerical advantages shift and players need to respond immediately.
