⚽️ Practice of the week
To get started, a fun little game from the French national team, great to finish off a warmup:

France National Team - Fun SAQ 🇫🇷
Setup:
• 2 end lines are placed 8 yards either side of the central line.
• 2 colours are placed either side. Green/Red one side, Blue/Yellow the other.
• Whatever colour the coach signals, the players must react and sprint the OPPOSITE.

Next, a small-sided game to work on attacking (and defending) with width. I remember our local coaches using this a few years ago, well worth revisiting:
