Hello coach Rory, just want to thank you. You have helped me grow so much as a parent coach. I love to teach my 9 yos and you have made that enjoyable for me and especially my 9 yo boys.

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Thanks! Glad the channel is helping!

[@fernandoandradejr5880]

Excellent breakdown, step by step emphasizing key points and thank you.

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Thank you. Hope it helps!

I'm about to use this in a session, so we'll see how I do. One thing I might change will be where the defender is starting out. We never have the defender coming at our CB from midfield... usually at the top of the box. There is urgency when the CB gets the ball. They are almost always under high pressure. I'm going to move the Defender to near the top of the box to more accurately reflect what I'm seeing in my 9v9 games.

[@coachbjorn]

That mostly worked. The field felt a bit too big so that the pressure on the CB wasn't fast enough to mirror the game situation, but I think that was better. Only made it to the 3v2. I really like the idea. Had 2 teams together and it was 21 kids, but we made it work.

[@Luisaused]

Great drills. 3vs 2 is a jey situation in all phases of the game, not only build-out

[@MikeBaas]

hooray for these progressions! 🎉🎉🎉

[@MrBrauk]

Just what I needed! I am following your instructions from "IMPROVE your youth soccer training sessions" video and going straight from Rondos to Pattern Choreography/Pattern Play was a little bit of a reach. This bridges that gap nicely, especially with the 2v1, 3v2, and 4v3 as incremental steps. It is also flexible to the number of players as you can run two groups for more reps easily. Thanks!

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Awesome. Let me know how it works goes!

[@thorcampbell4056]

Great stuff. Keep it up

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Thanks!!!

[@muswellcreek]

Thanks coach Rory. Your 7v7 videos have been fantastic for my very green U10s team. We have been learning to build out from the back and last week we played a well-organised team who put us under pressure but my boys did fantastic thanks to your instruction. The other parents thought I was Pep Guardiola! If you have more videos on mid-field transitions (e.g., breakdown play?) then that would be fantastic! But thanks for your amazing efforts - much appreciated!

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Great to hear!! Keep it up. I’ll try to get some more midfield transition stuff out. But in this age group it’s more build out and then attack.

[@muswellcreek]

yeah that is what I have noticed. Glad to hear that is what others see as well@@CoachRorySoccer

[@nicolewelch9447]

Thank you so much for your videos. They’re incredibly helpful!! Any chance you could share training tips for U10 goalkeepers?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

I’ll add it to the list!

[@Nolan.Gurule]

Nice jersey!

[@coachbrendan456]

Hi Rory. Do you have any pre-game / pre-training routines that you use? I'm not meaning the warm-up actions, but more of the intangibles to create a positive team environment e.g like high fives in the group huddle, everyone wishing each other a good game, those sort of things.

[@CoachRorySoccer]

I’ll have to think on this.

[@ibson247]

I’m Ibrahim I’m an Africa I’m really passionate about becoming a Soccer Coach. Can you please help me with personal lectures please

[@michaelgulston710]

What camera set up do you use to record sessions/games? And do you ever show your players game/session footage?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Veo. Yes I give them game footage and clips each week.

[@mattd8325]

Thanks for this Rory. Curious to know, what level is the team you are coaching shownin this video? Are they a regular 'club' side or are they a representative side / development squad etc?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

They are a middle level competitive club team. U10 in the video I believe.

[@nictigre03]

I'm coaching an U7 team in the fall. What age range do you recommend starting to coach building out from the back? Love the channel!

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Depends on what you’ll be playing. I’m used to U7 playing 4v4 without keepers in more of a rec environment. Competitive teams start 7v7 at u8 and above. So maybe a year too early? That being said you could introduce these concepts and see how they do. I don’t think there is ever too early a time to try!

[@nictigre03]

@@CoachRorySoccer sorry, should've said it'll be rec league 7v7 with goalies so my worry is that building out from the back may be too advanced depending on skill levels. I think I'll try it though at least and see how it goes!

[@CoachRorySoccer]

@@nictigre03 oh go for it than!

[@angelobenito-aguilar503]

​​@@CoachRorySoccer Coach, how do you adjust the BOTB ideas to players with poor passing skills (or lack of strength)?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

@@angelobenito-aguilar503 Just have to roll with it. I don't really adjust much. I will say if the group is less skilled etc and I am doing a positional game I will add less defenders. SO instead of a 7v4 build out game I might do 7v2 or something.

[@CyberXShinobi]

Coach, what does this look like for the 9v9 level? Is it much different if you plan on running a 4-31? You still have that CB & FB back relationship in the build out, is there an additional progression to bring in the #8 & #10?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Just have to add the line of 2 attacking CMs. And a bigger pitch of course. But it doesn’t really change much.

[@analysten]

HI coach Rory. How would you do it in a GK+4v4+GK situation? Cause that's how we play here with U8-9 in Rec League.

[@CoachRorySoccer]

You could do it similar. Check out my futsal video on how I would play 5 a side.

[@ai79]

Coach, so do you introduce these breakdowns before teaching complete build-out patterns?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

I introduce at the same time.

[@matthewjdavis85]

Any ideas for set plays off of the kick off?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Check out my kick offs video. I do the same thing everytime.

[@T-links]

Coach Rory, my U13 boys struggle to score goals even though they ALWAYS dominating games but end up playing goalless draws or losing by conceding a goal. They can't/won't shoot/attempt to score no matter how many times i urge them to, the other thing is that their shooting technique is poor and they don't have or put power behind their shots. All this i have drills to improve but nothing

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Planning on some shooting drill videos soon. Have you checked the finishing video?

[@T-links]

@@CoachRorySoccer I actually did, the boy I use as a striker is pacey but not very skilled & he misses ALOT of chances.

[@stokeyman]

I need this session for my U11. I love your content. Can this work for 9v9?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Yeah for sure.

[@stokeyman]

Thank you

[@parias_sky9845]

Do you recommend doing this with older kids like U12-14?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Yes absolutely but you can make it higher numbers to fit your 11v11 shape etc.

[@JohnAspUK]

Does the play reset if the ball goes out of bounds?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

Yep

[@mattraymond87]

What do you do if the DEF wins the ball?

[@CoachRorySoccer]

If the players defending win the ball they go to big goal.
