The purpose of this drill is turning 1v1s into 2v1s. Every time we can overload a defender, we turn the odds in our favor. The coach plays the ball into player 1. As soon as 1 receives the ball, the defender (5) is able to release and go after the ball. When 5 releases, 3 should recognize that 1 will be in a 1 v1 and run to a wide position to help keep possession. It is now on player 3 to read the 2v1 and see where there advantage lies. The preference is to one touch pass behind the defender for 1 to run on to and dribble through the gate. In the event the defender does not move toward the pass, 3 should carry the ball as far as they can
