Learning Objectives

	Technical Focus on the technique of shooting.
	Physical Area size reasonably big so the players must exert effort and energy to receive passes from outside players.
	Psychological Scoring system of how many goals can each individual score adds psychological edge.

Technical practice. (20 mins)

Practice Design:

Organisation

- 5 players on outside with a football, one goalkeeper, one attacker.

- This setup will be the same on the opposite side of the pitch; so 14 players overall.

- players on outside will take it in turns to deliver their ball to the attacker, who will attack the goal and work on the technique of shooting before collecting another ball and repeating.

Progressions/Regressions:

1. Progession - players on the outside must deliver different types of passes; i.e. driven passes, crosses, chipped passes.

Planned interventions:

- Coaching process focusing on the technique of shooting.

- Fly by to tell a player on the outside to switch up their delivery to the attacker in the middle.

Learning Objectives

	Technical Focus on the technique of shooting under pressure from an opponent.
	Tactical Off the ball information given to both attacker and defender on how to escape each other; this would allow the attacker to create space for a shot.
	Physical The addition of a cone on the halfway to run to would offer great physcial element.
	Psychological Scoing system of how many goals can each individual score adds psychological edge.
	Social Great problem solving task when different types of passes are being delivered to the attacker.

Skill practice. (20 mins)

Practice design:

Organisation

- 4 players on outside with a football, one goalkeeper, one attacker and one defender.

- This setup will be the same on the opposite side of the pitch; so 14 players overall.

- players on outside will take it in turns to deliver their ball to the attacker, who will attack the goal and work on the technique of shooting before collecting another ball and repeating.

- defender is active immediately and should aim to prevent the attacker from scoring.

Progressions/Interventions:

1. Progression - alter the deliveries to make it more difficult for the attcker to get his shot away.

1. Regression - the defender becomes active when the attacker has takentheir first touch.

2. Regression - add a cone in the centre circle, both the attacker and the defender must run around this cone before moving to the next ball (will add physcial edge).

Planned Interventions:

- Coaching process focusing on the movement to get away or lose a defender followed by shooting under pressure.

Learning Objectives

	Technical Focus on the technique of shooting in a match scenario.
	Tactical Off the ball inormation for both teams.
	Physical Realistic to a match scenario and therefore addition of physcial element.
	Psychological Scoing system of how many goals can each team score adds psychological edge.
	Social Team captains to keep score; team meetings to discuss what their shooting has been like half-way through the small sied gae; can work to improve this aspect after their discussion.

Small sided game. (20 mins)

Practice design:

Organisation:

- 7v7 small sided game with emphasis on shooting.

- two points scored for a first finish and the correct technique used, one point for another gaol (emphasis on correct technique).

Progressions/Regressions:

1. Progression - only first time finishes are allowed.

1. Regression - player take out of the pitch for one minute; team with the overload must use it to their advantage and score with first time finish; if they do, 5 points scored.

Planned Interventions:

- Drive by to focus on technique used when shooting.

- Fly by to focus on movement awar from a defender because 7v7 naturally becomes man to man marking.
