In his second session filmed exclusively for CV Academy, grassroots and community specialist coach Jez Weeks takes players through a series of three practices designed to develop their shooting under pressure from close range.

An initial warm-up is set up to challenge pairs of players to knock down specific sets of cones. That leads into a technical practice split across two identical playing areas, in which pairs of attackers work in a 2v1 overload against a defender before trying to beat a goalkeeper. The final conditioned game is a 4v4 (including goalkeepers) in which the two playing areas from the previous practice are brought together.
