In this second grassroots-focused session delivered exclusively for CV Academy, former Watford assistant manager Dean Austin takes a group of five players (including one goalkeeper) through a series of practices that develop their technical skills in combination play, movement to receive and finishing.

The session begins with a warm-up in which players complete a technical conditioning circuit that trains their long passing and finishing. The first practice progresses from a passing practice, in which players combine to break a line representing an opposition back four, to include a finish. The second progresses from a diamond passing practice to also include a finish.
