The Back Pass (as an Offensive Tool)

Hitting a target man
Playing the ball to a target man (someone in the middle of the enemy defense) would usually attract enemy pressure to that particular player. If you find yourself pressured or surrounded by more than one enemy, immediately seek back support options.

Creating space
An attacker who is being marked, should get used to dropping and passing the ball back. This draws the enemy defense out and creates space in front of the goal they are defending. Notice that by simply checking back, the marked attacker draws out the entire defensive line.

Changing the point of attack
Passing the ball back along the wing usually draws in the enemy team towards the same side of the field. This usually exposes the opposite side to counter attacking. Always try to change the field when the ball is passed back on the flank.
