The sessions within this Journal will inspire the goal scoring instincts of your players whilst giving them different problems to solve.
The players have to play under pressure and react to different types of service, making choices with regards to which different techniques to use, as well as whether to shoot early or combine with a team-mate.
All the practices run quickly with sharp movements; there are no long ‘bus’ queues waiting to shoot and every player has a role and function to complete in order for the practices to run smoothly.
This is one of our most popular journals and features 30 different practice games that will develop your team’s ability to retain possession of the ball.

Be comfortable in possession – how to create good angles of support
Retain possession to move the opposition and play forward
‘Rest’ with the ball and remain patient
