Session Design: The pitch will be the size of a 7v7, with 2 small goals on both sides and football.

Practice Design: Have the pitch layed out, but dont put out the goals because the players need to do the warm up and after the warm up get the players to put the goals at the corners of the pitch which they all face each other.

Planned Interventions: Drive-by; tell the players to not shoot straight but pass it around and let the opponents to move side to side. Fly-by; set the player/s challenges for example; make 10 passes before you score. Counter them when they have just scored to make them come back quickly and defend.

Physical Corner: This activity should be around 30 minutes, the players should work hard and the rest periods would be before and after this session.

Social Corner: The team meetings would help because it would of been talked about what we are doing in training, and passing and receiving was talked about. The captains would support the team and expect a certain standed. Problem solving tasks such as, how to move the players that are defending the goal, how to beat the players that are doing a high press.

Tactical Corner: For the formations, one team has gone with a 3-1-2 and the other team has gone with 3-2-1.

Psychological Corner: Conditions will be set like make a certain amount of passes before scoring. Targets will be like can your team score 10 goals in the time limit. Challenges for the group will be can you make key passes which leads to a goal.
