IOWA SOCCER ASSOCIATION | BUILD-OUT LINETitle: Build-out Line – encourage building from the back third

Situation: #1 in possession at goal kicks

+What: The defending team must drop off behind the build-out line.

+When: The attacking team has a goal kick and cannot step to

defend until the goalkeeper distributes (i.e., ball leaves the

goalkeeper’s foot) the ball to a teammate.

+Where: The build out line is located at the half way line.

+Who: All 9U – 10U players on the defending team.

Benefits of the build-out line

+Why: The goal of implementing the build-out line is to promote

player development. The more you coach building from the back the

more your players develop the following:

1. Defenders and goalkeeper refine their technical and tactical

skills of how to build through the thirds.

2. Midfielders learn creative movement/rotations, ball reception,

passing combinations and decision making.

3. Challenges players/coaches to develop the patience and

courage to work through mistakes that can occur as teams

develop their ability to build through the thirds of the field.

Please note: On the previous page, US Soccer doesn't indicate the dimension of where the build-out line is placed. For FALL 2016, Iowa Soccer is instructing members to use the halfway line as the build-out line. We'll evaluate in December if any changes for spring '17.
