You can view another training session based around playing out from the back here.
Practice 1.
Structure:
-To keep it as realistic as possible use half the pitch.
-Good ball supply.
Rules:
-The game can start with a goal kick, coach sending it in to any white player or the blues attacking the goal.
-I would mix up the starting mechanism to keep players guessing.
-The whites have to dribble the ball past the half way line.
-On each phase the coach sends different numbers of blues.
-The whites may play out against 3 blues one minute then 6 the next.
-If the blues win the ball they can go for goal.
-When the ball is dead the blues retreat to the halfway line.
Progressions
-Get the blues to press/drop/man to man
-Change formations
-Change formations
Practice 2.
Structure:
-To keep it as realistic as possible use half the pitch.
-Good ball supply.
Rules:
-Similar to the previous game.
-The whites are in place to try and play out from the back.
-The white will try to play out against the yellows, pinks and blues one team at a time.
-Notice the yellow, pink and blues have different numbers of players which the whites have to notice.
-In the diagram the whites are playing out against the blues.
-The two teams that are resting (pinks and yellows) can rest wherever they wish.
-The idea behind this is that they can effect play immediately when it is there turn.
Progressions:
-Get pinks to press, yellows to drop and blues to do what they want.
