I'm looking for a drill to teach my players to not always drive forward, but rather play the ball back away from pressure to a trailing player.. Any ideas? The players are between 10 and 13 yo.

My thoughts are a simple triangle game to start, to get them into the idea of pressurised passing 4 players 3 on cones the 4th pressuring but not `winning the ball`
The next phase, I would use the drill, with players on the outside of a rectangle, 2 players inside with a ball and 1-2 defenders, 4 players placed along the outside of the rectangle vertices, these players allow the players with the ball an option to bounce pass to relieve pressure.
You really aren`t trying to teach pass backwards but rather just look for options that may not be forward, the rest will come as they use all 4 players
