get midfield and striker to track back

hi everyone i manage a 7 a side team, we are a new u10 team and started playing league games in january, one thing ive noticed in games is my 3 midfielders and striker just give up and dont chase back when we lose the ball which results in being outnumbered at the back, any tips to help with this problem as ive tried to get across to them that we need to get back and help but its still happening. thanks

  • Hi Steve 

    have you tried dividing each halves into thirds in pratice, and ask that if they lose the ball in the oppostions half, then only one player can remain in that third where ball is lost, the others must retreat into next third.

    incentive is if they win ball back in that area they have retreated to, and score within 10 passes then it counts as double
