The ?modern way? is to play out from the back. To be able to do it successfully though, you need your defenders to be comfortable on the ball when looking to pass, dribble and scan the pitch.
Split your players into three equal sized teams, with two teams starting inside the area and the third spread around the outside of the grid.
The team on the outside of the grid are neutral players. When they receive the ball they must pass back to a player on the same team that originally passed to them.
The two teams inside the area play a possession game. The challenge for each team is to score 10 (or more) consecutive passes to score a goal.
Coaching points
Once a team has scored 2 goals rotate the losing team with the outside team. Focus on passing accuracy and speed.
