Session Focus

Game-Based Scenarios & Decision-Making

In this final week of the block, we shift from isolated finishing to game-based decision-making. Players will be asked to read the situation and choose when, where, and how to finish — and not just because it’s their turn to shoot.

We want players to:

• Recognise space and timing
• Choose the right technique for the moment
• Stay composed and confident

This is where everything comes together — dribbling, scanning, body shape, decision-making — to create real goals in game-like situations.

Structure & Flow of Session

1. Ball Mastery Warm-Up (10 mins)

Age 1-6: Basic ball control with finishing games Age 7-11: More complex footwork with decision-based finishing

2. Contextual Game Scenario (15 mins)

Age 1-6: Simple games encouraging goal-scoring decisions Age 7-11: Game-based scenarios with technique choices

3. Small Sided Game (15 mins)

Age 1-6: Fun games encouraging finishing opportunities Age 7-11: Conditioned games rewarding game intelligence around scoring

4. Match-Related Play (15–20 mins)

Age 1-6: Free play with minimal rules Age 7-11: Small-sided matches with decision-based finishing focus

Why This Structure Works

• Pulls all finishing habits into real decision-based moments
• Encourages players to apply what they’ve learned in match context
• Reinforces scanning, movement, and calmness under pressure
• Builds game intelligence around scoring — not just shooting
