Set-up

7v7 with two small goals or full goals if available. Teams score bonus points for goals scored from a set pattern — combination play into the box, or a wide overload finishing with a cross. Rewards the work from this week.

Coaching points

Bonus goal counts double if it comes from a routine we drilled — reinforce the learning
Kochel and Lausch: production on the wings is what we need from you in five days
Defenders: transition mentality — win the ball, go

Progressions

Last five minutes: both teams play full intensity, no restrictions
