Budapest Overloaded SSG

This overloaded small-sided game is played across two connected grids, each containing two attackers, two defenders and a goalkeeper. Play begins with the defending team building from the back, attempting to play forward under pressure from two pressing attackers. The objective is to break the press and find their two advanced teammates in the opposite grid, where they can progress the attack and attempt to score.

To support the build-up, one of the two attackers in the higher grid can drop into the deeper zone, creating a temporary overload to help play through the press. This movement encourages decision-making around when to drop, how to receive under pressure and how to connect play between zones. The practice replicates realistic build-up scenarios under pressure while promoting intelligent movement and positional awareness.
