Hi Sharna, for bringing the ball out of defense, you might find the "Backline Stack Set Plays" particularly useful. This involves the WD and GD starting in a stacked position, which can help in organizing your defense and transitioning into attack. You can check out the details of this drill here: 1 Backline Stack Set Plays.

Another useful drill is "The Backline Pass Roll," which focuses on creating space and efficiently moving the ball from defense to attack. You can explore this drill here: 2 The Backline Pass Roll.

These set plays can help your team in effectively transitioning from defense to attack, ensuring smooth and strategic play. Let me know if you need more information!
