Because all the players arrive seperately as they are ready we will put them into 5 v 2 rondos in 10x15 yd grids.
We will then move to group dynamic stretch using the blue cones as our guides.
Next will be passing lines in pairs playing 2 touch then 1 touch over 10 yards then move to 20 yards. To finish the passing we will have flighted balls played over the 20 yards to be controlled in the air and then passed back in the air.
Last we will go to either a 5 v 5 or a 4 v 4 + 2 possession game with the 10 starters while the 8 subs go through a shooting drill to warm up the keeper.
1) on the 5 v 2 good ball movement is key.
2) on the dynamic stretch make sure they are getting a stretch not just going through the motions.
3) on the passing make sure they are on their toes, and the quality of the touch is there.
4) on the possession game communication, quick ball movement and constant off the ball movement is key.
5) shooting drill is to warm up the keeper and get movement, want quality strikes with proper technique.

Set pieces account for roughly a third of all goals in football, yet many coaches spend surprisingly little time coaching defensive organisation at corners and free kicks. This article compares zonal and man marking systems, explores hybrid approaches, and provides a practical session structure for building set piece resilience into your team.
A player's first touch determines everything that follows: whether they can play forward, turn, or simply retain the ball. This article explores why training first touch in isolation is not enough, and how to design sessions that develop this critical skill under realistic game pressure.
