Playing out from the back. ( Timahoe u15 )

DESCRIPTION

 Playing out from the back.

• Formation 4-4-2
• Keeper always starts with the ball in the middle of the goal. ( This makes it easier for the keeper to play out )
• We get the two centre halfs to line up on the edge of the box with an open body position ensuring that their first touch is forward.
• The next option the keeper has is one of the midfielders drops short and looks for the ball.Although he may not fully want the ball he is dragging the oppositons midfielder out of the game by coming short.
• The right and left backs push high up the pitch to create more space for the centre halfs and the midfielder dropping in. The keeper has the option of hitting the full backs but must make sure he beats the first attacker.
• His last option is to kick it long. The keeper is the one who decides this, if he feels it's not on he tells his back 4 to step up in a line.

COACHING POINTS

High intensity /game realistic.

• let the keeper play out the first few times without any pressure from the forwards
• encourage the keeper to play out.

BE CONFIDENT ON THE BALL  

PROGRESSION

• Get one the centre halfs to took in towards the middle of the box. The forward player is likely to follow him .
• As this happens the full back drops down the line looking for the ball.
• If he doesn't decide to play him he can hit the ball to the winger as the full back has created a huge amount of space.
