In his second exclusive coaching course with CV Academy, Michael Jolley builds on the principles he introduced in his first to further develop players’ understanding of how to create and exploit a wide attacking overload in a 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 system.

The session is divided into two practices. The first is a phase of play in which the coach focuses on one team’s ability to attack using an overload on the right-hand side of the pitch, while encouraging the opposition to press aggressively and look to counter-attack. The second practice is an unmodified 11v11 game in which the coach should continue to encourage right-sided overloads and quick switches of play to the far side.
