While we’re all going through a break in the football season, thanks to Adam Cooper for sharing one new practice per day on Twitter. And I’ll pick out this attacking & finishing setup, with nice progressions:

Day 4 - Attacking & Finishing - Technical Practice. - Perfect for Youth Development Phase. - Helps to develop technical quality whilst ensuring lots of repetition. - Can mirror practice for more repetition! Created using @TacticalPad! #FootballTogether #Grassroots #Coaching

📖 Topic of the week

We’ll have to wait a bit before training restarts, so in the meantime the English FA is sharing a new SuperKicks challenge every day, to keep players active!

Click on the tweet to open the thread and see all challenges so far, and watch out for a new one every day at 2pm UK-time!

Welcome to the #FASuperKicks challenge with @FunFootballUK 😀 We’ll be bringing you a new activity for your kids every day during the week – and we start with the swamp game. So whether it’s you or a sibling your child takes on, let’s get started!G

💡 Idea of the week

Chess and football? Quique Setién explains what he picked up from the former, which helps him with the latter. In short: taking time to think before making decisions.
