Wing & Fullback Combos | Overlap & Underlap Drill

Overview

• A winger and a fullback working as a pair
• About a third of the field to work in
• One ball

Objectives

• Learn when to overlap, when to underlap, and how to pull it off
• Speed up and sharpen how the two link on the flank
• Get players feeling how much passing and timing matter
• Groove your attacking patterns with no defenders in the way

Setup

Your winger and fullback attack down the flank together, working through different overlap and underlap combos, and finish by clipping a cross into a small goal near the penalty area.

１）Winger and fullback set up in their starting spots.

２）They knock the ball back and forth, using the width to push forward.

３）They run an overlap (fullback bombing on around the outside) or an underlap (winger drifting inside) to open up space.

４）Run through a few different combos to build a real rhythm to the attack.

５）Whip an accurate cross into the small goal from around the penalty area.
