Hi all,
Does anyone having any drills designed to help with playing out from the back? We have recently moved to 9a side are are really struggling when it’s our own goal kicks, conceding 3 in both our last 2 friendlies when teams have pressured us straight from the kick and I want to address the issue in training.
thanks for your help

Hi Dean
The first thing I would look at is why is it breaking down, are the players individually uncomfortable with the ball, are they finding it tough to make a decision, are they interacting with the moment and thinking freely rather than trying to execute a pre determined phase of play.
To help my kids play out their experiences of football throughout training have always been 1v1 and 2v1 and 3v2. These are mirrors of what the child experiences in the game but broken down to smaller chunks which progress throughout the pitch. Heighten their technical ability with a ball each in training and I did give the boys experiences of playing out/breaking out from the back in 4v3 with a target for the 4 playing out to work the ball to and if the 3 win the ball with their press then they try and score as 1 of the team of 4 is the goalie who is highly involved through coaching points and encouragement, like all of them.
Try to avoid seeing the game as quick fix's in football training sessions because it dulls down the individuals expression and creativity in the moments you need it the most, all the the time
In the 4v3 I would give all 7 starting positions and then it was up to them they had to figure it out as it's an expansion of a 2v1 and overload and we need them to be comfortable making the decisions so our training environment mirrors our game day environment, so don't worry about conceding 3 goals, in the right environment these are learning opportunities for the kids if you fully support them rather than trying to fix a problem.
Hope you have a great season and stay safe
