Play out from the back

Method:

Blue team defending and transitioning to attack. Play starts from goal keeper with the ball played to centre backs (red) whose aim it is to get the ball out to the Blue player between the poles (gate) The Forwards have to press the defenders and try and win the ball back. If they win the ball back they immediately transition in to an attack. If the defenders successfully get the ball to the blue player who is waiting in the Gate the blue player plays the ball to an attacking player and joins in with the attacking team.

Coaching Points:

When one player presses the other covers, receive the ball on the back foot and have an open stance, Look for space while in attack
