Hi James, Are you playing with a retreat line?  Having an agreement with the opposition that on goal kicks all players from the opposition stay in their own half stay in their own half until the GK has passed the ball under control to one of their players to then combine and connect as they try and score goals as they advance up the pitch? The benefits with this are that players will become more comfortable on the ball, have time to scan  and build their attack as a team.

Hi. Sharon.

Yes we play with a retreat line and the opposition are allowed to get the ball as soon as the keeper has passed. It's getting a starting position so that they're prepared but it's the second pass they are struggling with
