Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Playing Out Of The Back

Screen 2 (45 mins)

Playing out Phase of Play - 40 minutes

Primary - 1/5/6/4 (Breaking first line of Press)

Secondary - 2/3/8/10 (advancing behind second line)

Tertiary - 9/7/11 (Breaking into advanced areas to break defensive line)

4-3 formation for Blues 

2-3 formation for Reds

Starts with the ball in the middle area 3v3 with the blues in a possession game

When the blues hit 8 passes they can look to break out and play normal rules but into gates at the end of the pitch

If they don't break through wide channels they can look to play into mini goal which simulates the pass into Hollie

On the other hand, if reds win ball in possession game they can open up and look to attack the goal

Throw ins and goal kicks only, otherwise ball is dead and possession starts in middle again

Coaching Points:

Centre backs split from goal kick

 Full backs look to push back their wingers if possible

 Central midfielder looks to come for ball

Quick passing combinations (out to in)

Body shape to receive pass depending on pitch geography

Cm who drops in looks to receive on front foot then centre back pushes into full back or 8/10 for combination there

Speed of pass and accuracy is key

Movement off the ball to not hide 

Don't force the forward play can always use overload with keeper to find another solution

Create overloads out wide to break free the full back behind the opposing winger
