Hi Robert,

I would place focus on players working with a ball each, along with lots of fun games and 1 v 1s / 2 v 2s / 3 v 3s. Small sided games with minimal players on each team will allow for lots of repetition and touches on the ball. Avoid line drills and sessions where players are standing around - if they are active and there is repetition and opportunities to get lots of touches on the ball then they are more likely to firstly enjoy it, and secondly to develop. 

It is important to develop players as individuals at this age and to equip them with the key skills and techniques that the game requires. 

I will share some examples below. England Football Learning on Social Media (e.g. twitter) also regularly share sessions that coaches can use. 

Be sure though to adapt sessions that you see (where needed) in order to ensure that they are meeting the needs of your players. 

Hope this helps,

Adam.
