Teach Youth Players How to build play from the back

They form a diamond shape that allows natural
angles of support, as well as numbers
up on the central attacker. (Fig2)
The goalkeeper is a key position for a team
that builds from the back. Players in this role
must be technically as good as any outfield
player, comfortable with their feet, and at
this stage, they should follow the same technical
training of an outfield player.
Fig 2
The position of the two central defenders
should not be too far from each other, as it
is difficult for players at this stage to have
great passing and controlling accuracy of
over long distances.
The central midfielder should form a triangle
with the two defenders, and be in a position
to provide an advanced passing option.
Note: When the goalkeeper is in possession,
the ball should always be passed to either
one of the central defenders unless marked.
The wide build up chains include one central
defender, a wide player, the midfielder, and
the central striker which will move to the
side of the ball (are you talking about the
central striker or the build up chains? It is
unclear). They form a diamond shape with
two natural triangles. Advancing the ball is
always the priority but must be done in a
safe matter. Through training, players must
learn to recognize the various situations and
choose the best available option to safely
advance the ball. However, when this is not
possible, retaining possession is a priority. In
Fig 3
Fig 3, the central defender has no viable safe
passing options, but can use the goalkeeper
or the other central defender as the "out
players” to come out safely from a pressured
situation.
The last build up chain, occurs in central areas
with the central midfielder in possession
of the ball. Two wide players, and the central
striker, and the central midfielder form
an advanced diamond shape that moves the
team’s build up through the midfield areas
to the final 3rd of the field. The two central
defenders take a back position of support as
“out players,” an option that must be always
