All principles

In Possession

Build from the back

The goalkeeper and defenders start our attacks with passes, not big kicks.

Why it matters

Playing out invites the opponent forward and creates space in front of us to attack into.

Coaching cues

  • “Split wide”
  • “Keeper is a player”
  • “Brave, calm, pass”
