Passing drill from the Scottish FA where a teammate overlaps outside the ball carrier to eliminate a defender and reach a crossing position. The ball carrier draws the defender inwards and then plays into the run.
What the coach should look for
- The ball carrier fixes the defender before the pass.
- The overlapping player runs at pace around the outside.
- Play the pass in front of the runner, not to feet.
