It’s the modern way teams want to play. It’s definitely on trend and if you can master it, teams won’t get close to you, but make sure you get it right! The high risk strategy will take some practice, so make sure you take advantage of everything this session has to offer.
What’s in the Session?
No one wants to just lump it up to the big guy up the top anymore, so get your players up to speed with having the ball at their feet during a dynamic warm up. The main idea that runs throughout the session is to develop players to be comfortable on the ball and used to the movements they need to make to create options to allow the team to play out from the goalkeeper. Progress on from the warm-up with a practice that walks through the patterns of play before introducing an opposition to challenge the outletting team to really work hard to develop their skills to play out from the back. Finish of the session with a small-sided game in a smaller area to really accentuate any poor touches and to put pressure on the outletting team to build attacks effectively with patience and tight skills.
It’s a risky strategy, but one that if you can perfect is sure fire to bring success! Build your attacks from back to front and get every player comfortable on the ball.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
