Clearing Out and reoffering drills

Does anyone have drills for clearing out and reoffering? My team struggles with this and runs backwards for the ball, allowing the defenders to catch it. I need drills for U11 and 13U, please.

Hi Matilda, for improving your team's clearing out and reoffering skills, I found some drills that could be beneficial for your U11 and 13U teams. Here are a couple of resources that might help:

Clearing Out and Reoffering Drills: This resource provides a variety of drills focusing on clearing out and reoffering. You can find it 1 here.
Clearing Out and Re-attacking: This drill involves players working in triangles, starting together, splitting, and reoffering. It's a great way to practice movement and coordination. Check it out 2 here.

These drills should help your players improve their movement and positioning on the court. Let me know if you need more information or additional drills!
