Warm Up

Similar session to last week on shooting.
Ball start with player 1 who then passes in to player 2 who lays it off for player 3.
Make players to take a touch before passing and player 3 needs to time their run so they run on to the ball without stopping. Shooting players must take 1 touch to control the ball and then shoot.
Progression - 1 touch passing and shooting.
Progression - encourage them to shoot first time and from distance.

20 mins
Positional training in a small sided game.Red team - GK and 2 defenders / midfields (to be mixed up more)
Blue team - Defender, wingers and striker (to be mixed up more)
Wider channels this week. Wingers have to stay in the channels and striker cant enter the channels. This week the defender can enter the channel but only in the defenders half of the pitch.
Encourage the players to pass out wide and travel with the ball "drive" with support of the striker and defender.
Try make the pitch wide by switching the ball through the middle across to the other side.
Utilise the defender in the play by encouraging going "home".
Want to concentrate on short balls and getting players to check before shouting for the ball and again when receiving the ball.
Defending principle to concentrate on - not player marking and using the space in between to block the passes.
