The Art of the Overload

  • Define what an overload is and why it is a key attacking and defending principle in hockey.
  • Identify where and when overloads most often occur across the four phases of the game. ​
  • Apply simple team and individual strategies to deliberately create and exploit overloads.
  • ​Minimise risk by organising counter-control and maximise opportunity with counter-attacks.
