Learning Objectives

	Technical Focus on the techniques involved in final third play, e.g. passing and shooting.
	Tactical Off the ball information given to defensive side; 231 shape.
	Physical Area size is big enough to bring about physical benefits.
	Psychological Scoring system will provide great motivation.
	Social Team meetings for discussions regarding attacking.

Small sided game. (20 mins)

Practice design:

Organisation:

- defence vs attack (7v7 including goalkeeper for defensive side).

- aim is to attack the goal, create chances and score goals.

- when ball goes out of play, another ball is passed to deepest attacker and the team in green attack again.

Progressions/Interventions:

1. Progression - each attacker has only 3 touches in possession.

1. Regression - remove a defender and make them an attacker to create greater outfield advantage; will be easier to create chances and score goals with spare men.

Planned Interventions:

- Coaching process to outline technique used when shooting when the attacking team is failing to convert chances.

- Coaching process to outline technique used for passing when players are struggling to consistently perform the correct technique in the final third.

Organisation:

- players will take it in turns to perform 3v2's (3 greens, 2 reds).

- emphasis on passing and shooting in order to create chances and score goals in the final third.

Progressions/Interventions:

1. Progression - place an 8 second time limit on the attack's to increase tempo.

2. Progression - begin 3v3's instead of 3v2's in the attack's favour to remove overload.

1. 4v2's, 2v1's (increasing overload/space for attackers to play in, thus enhancing space for them to perform techniques).

Planned Interventions:

Drive by to run through the correct technique when shooting when a specifc player or players aee struggling to perform correct technique.
