Playing Out

To develop structured build-up play from the back, focusing on passing options, movement, and supporting angles.

• Players set up in game formation as shown in the diagram. • The sequence starts with two A players (goalkeepers or deep-lying players) initiating play simultaneously on the left and right sides. • Players pass the ball in a set pattern (A-G), with G turning the mannequin before passing to H. • Players can either hold their position or follow their pass to rotate roles. • Encourage smooth ball circulation and awareness of pressing triggers (loose touches, multiple touches) to avoid them.
