Step 1

This drill aims to teach cutters how to overload a single defender 2v1 to create continuation options. The drill is for 8 players, 4 per side.

Step 2

In the initial setup the defense is putting on a cup zone. The main emphasis in the drill is on the movement of players 3 and 4.

Step 3

The dump handler triggers the drill by bursting through the cup to receive a short pass. As this happens attackers 3 and 4 need to split so that defender 4 is forced to make a decision.

Step 4

The attackers have a small window to make the pass before the cup retreats to cut off the option.

Step 5

If it doesn't work first time, the offence can try again!

Step 6

The drill ends either when they complete a pass through the cup or turnover.

Step 7

Each player should get three attempts as a cutter. Rotate through the positions so that everyone from one team has had a go, then swap offense and defence.
