any articles on why we need to teach kids to play out from the back ?

I must've acquired most of this stuff from FFA courses.

I think the FIFA Technical Department said at the South African World Cup in 2010, that most teams in the quarter finals had the capacity to play out under pressure. I remember something stating that the top four could do it- Spain, Holland, Germany and Uruguay.

FFA also showed the FIFA Technical Department's assessment of Australia. That we couldn't hold the ball under pressure as a team when playing out in 2010.

playing out from the back is beginning to be understood but playing into the goal is still no where near understood.
