Pressing game, Finishing drill, Xs and Os

Jul 26, 2022

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:

⚽️ Drill of the week

Next, a simple and neat finishing drill from Norwich FC:

💡 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:

Another @SundayShare10 another SSG. X and 0s heavily used in youth sport nowadays and rightly so. Kids love it! Can ask players to create their own grids.

Hope you enjoyed this - until next time!
