I understand all these principles, how is it you have implemented this in training, getting kids from U10 and below to understand what ur trying to implement is normally the hardest part

I’d have those kids running rondo drills for at least 30 minutes every practice. Feel like that’s a really great way to impart on the kids how to pass between each other and move into space

If you are specifically talking about build up out of the back then show them on a board, then put them on the pitch and literally walk them through the patterns and options , then have them rep it out with no pressure then add defenders.

Thanks for a very pertinent video. Indeed it requires effort but sticking to it pays off.

Great video on a key issues focused on these key areas for younger players!

I'm happy to have found this channel. I no longer coach, I did at club level and at some point I'll be coaching at high school level. When I coached at the club level (youth) I was teaching them to play out from the back on goal kicks and playing it back to your defenders. I reinforced with them that they will make mistakes in the game learning how to play from the back and that it is okay, it's part of life. I told them I don't want this kicking the ball up in the air down the field causing it to become 50/50 when we can retain possession and keep the ball away from the other team. I worked with the players to better their technique on the ball. First touch, passing, dribbling. I set up drills to get many touches on the ball and 1v1s. To get the players used to pressure I incorporated drills from Spain's youth academy that had players focusing on applying pressure in the one grid as the team in possession in that grid tried to complete a certain number of passes and then they had to make a through pass in the middle with about 2-3 defenders in that middle grid trying to cut off the passing lanes. If the pass was successful, that defending team had to send 2 players to the other grid to try the win the back back as quickly as possible. Drills like this worked wonders on applying it to an actual game so they wouldn't panic.

A lot of great information here. Great video!

This is fantastic, thank you very much.

Great video mate! Keep them up, think my son will understand this 👍⚽️

Really useful - thanks. I find many children like trying long drop kicks when they're in goal. Would you encourage them to boot the ball out once in a while, as an option to vary things?

@CatalanSoccer

Жыл бұрын

Variety is important. It’s also useful for kids to understand when a long kick is important. Counter attack opportunities should be acted on by a long kick or throw. If the opponent is pressing very high and you need a way out then a couple of long kicks can pin them back and ease some pressure on the defence!

Great vid 👍

Moltes gracies, Ben! Les teves explicacions son les millors. (Aqui on visc juguem 7v7. Tenim un 2-3-1, alguna sugerencia?)

Thanks this is very informative! would you advise the first pattern for U7 football 5 vs 5? We only have 4 outfield players so I feel whatever we do will be so predictable.

@CatalanSoccer

Жыл бұрын

It will be predictable because of the lack of numbers you have to play with, but get creative and think of some patterns to run. Remember, whilst they might seem predictable to us, the opponents are only 6/7 years old. So they won’t predict whats happening every time and I always say, a well executed plan is hard to stop even when you know what is coming!

Not even all that… you ever heard of Futsal??? They play 4 on the court with a goalie. But they can only pass to the goalie one time per possession. Point is watch Futsal movements it’ll teach you a whole new world of movements and patterns that Futsal uses! Your in for a treat!

Hey m8, I think your red circle tag close to the end of the video (11:16) is meant to say Dont Give Up and not Give Up ;)

Hi, thanks for the great video Ben , was looking for playing out the back video to come. I have a question for you . Just started new season managing u15 girls team, I have a very vast mix of girls in my team, some been playing football since being 8 or 9 whilst got few new girls who only started playing now so I have a massive gap between the girls in terms of football knowledge, skill etc. What's the best way to do training so the "experienced" girls don't get frustrated at the new girls and and vice versa. It's only me as well so I can't really split them up too much. Any ideas or suggestions for drills , games much appreciated 👍 Keep the videos coming !

Thank you Mark! Really appreciate it! Managing difference can be a really tough part of coaching. Trying to raise the level of your least experienced kids whilst still challenging your better players. It’s a pretty long and challenging process but certainly some Tim hint I could help you with. Would you be happy to have a chat about it sometime by video call?

9:05 This is what I find curious. As much as a coach can train their defence to work like this, an offence coach can train their players to cleverly press this to make it as tough as possible. And if you make one mistake, either in your first touch, decision making or pass, it’s panic stations. I watch Arsenal, Man Utd etc like you say sometimes have real issues playing it out against a drilled side, and losing a goal because you were trying to play it short out from the back feels so galling and unnecessary. I’m genuinely interested in your opinion.

Encouraging video, half my girls struggle making accurate passes and i only get 1 hr a week training with them and the parents aren't as committed as i am with my daughter (i even offered my time to run a second training session a week) is this pattern exercise still worth my time? If for first 15 minutes of training i run passing drills then implement this build up from back pattern exercises, can it still work? On a positive note, we have won 2 of our last 3 games and so far i have the girls passing out wide from goal kicks, that's as far as i got with them so far

@CatalanSoccer

Жыл бұрын

Absolutely, if you can’t gain the extra time with them just adopt part of the session to practice some routines. The other thing to consider is asking the girls to get to games earlier to practice these things before a match!

Kids under u13 should be working on technique and only technique. Introduce a decision and it interferes with technical progression. There are too many technical details to inculcate to have time for anything else. Forcing them to do it in their own introduces errors that will prevent them from succeeding at a high level. Pretty ball movement at u11 is indicative of limited players at u16. They simply don’t need this at u11. Young kids should play a relationship oriented style instead of a positional style.

Point well taken. Please explain a relationship oriented style.

Easiest way for kids to play out of he back is to get a keeper with a big punt 😂

Is it smart to keep the players I. One position so that they fully understand their position?

Yes, and once they are fully competent then switch roles!

English guy supposedly teaching Catalan soccer.... Does La Masia focus on passing patterns? No -that's 80/90's English coaching. Don't call this what it isn't. Catalan soccer is every training should include directional rondos. Focus on fundamentals of body posture, pass to back foot, forward touch, opposite movement, etc. These concepts taught in a simple 4v2+1 rondo will teach the kids the vast majority of fundamentals they need to build out of the back successfully, plus they learn to play under pressure in a fun "game". Repetitive passing patterns in training suck the fun and creativity out of the game.
