Hi there,

I hope you’re all well! Here are your tips for this week:

🥅 Practice of the week

Let’s start with a possession & pressing game, where (I think) the team in possession tries to make a number of passes while the pressing team tries to intercept and score:

💡 Idea of the week

And to finish, a great idea to make some SSGs more fun: use Xs and Os so players vary their finishing:
