Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): U9/10 Winter Skill Centre - Session #27 (Playing Out From The Back) (Start Time: 2023-02-08 17:15:00)

Playing Out From the Back (Tactical - Unopposed) (15 mins)

Go through several variations of playing out from the back unopposed.

1. Goalkeeper plays to LWB or RWB who then plays a 1-2 with the central midfielder.

2. Goalkeeper plays to CB who plays to CM who sends a ball into space for the LWB or RWB.

3. Goalkeeper plays a ball to the ST who lays off to the CM, the CM then plays a ball into space for the LWB or RWB. 

4. Goalkeeper plays a ball to the CM who sets it back to LWB or RWB, the LWB or RWB then plays a ball to the CB who plays it to the opposite WB. 

5. Play one more variation where the ball goes back to the goalkeeper. 

* First option is always to the striker, otherwise we try to get to the striker as quickly as possible without forcing the pass. 

Final Game - 5v5 or 6v6 (20 mins)

Set up a 5v5 or 6v6 game dependent on the amount of players available (may need a neutral or coach in net).

Let the boys play! Encourage players to get into their shape on goal kicks. 

Introduce players to indirect free kicks, combination play from a corner, and other tactical situations that would benefit them in the game.
