Teach Youth Players How to build play from the back

ack position of support as “out players” an
option that must be always available if forward
play is not possible. (Fig 4)
The 2-3-1 for 7v7 is only a structure that can
be used to facilitate the teaching concepts
of building from the back. The real work for
the coach is to develop the technical, tactical,
physical, and mental requirements
needed for the players to be ready for the
next stage of their development.
Next, we will take an in-depth look at stage
2, which is designed for playing under the
9v9 game format.
I thought it was important to provide an introduction
of this topic by highlighting the
key concepts of the previous stage –The 7v7
Fig 4
for U9 andU10 Players– as a foundation to
the stage covered in this e-book.
In the following pages, we will look at some
of the prerequisites that need to be developed
in order to teach and train youth players
at U11 and U12 how to build successfully
from the back from goalkeeper possession.
