Recently i've been in a group doing a Skills Acquisition Program pilot group. I haven't been for a while as I was overseas.
In the KNVB youth training there was a four stage model based on game analysis.
1 Specific technique work based on an analysis of the previous week's game and identifying the main problem in that match.
2. 4v4 SSG to address the diagnosed problem.
3. 7v7 to focus on the the specific problem.
4.11 v11 with the focus on the problem.
Comparatively, the training we have done with the SAP coach was similar to a teaching concept I use in story writing for narratives.
There was a theme:
1. Introduction.
2. Middle.
3. End, or culminating performance.
Coaches were set homework. We had to devise either an Introduction, Middle or End, to a prescribed training ground 'theme/topic' set by the SAP coach/state FFA Development Officer.
The state FFA SAP coach wanted to ascertain whether he was instructing/teaching effectively.

No he isn't a dud. Possibly the best instructor I've seen in Australia outside of the KNVB guys I had.
Apologies, I stand corrected. Just that "Intro/Middle/End" sound vague for what each section would entail. I'm assuming it's to do with progression to involve more in each drill, but I hope you get what I meant when comparing what was explained for the KNVB course.
I personally think that nobody should not work on skills at some point in a session, regardless of age group. Even adults need to be working on these. Finding that balance between development and problem solving (as a team rather than individual, as individual problem solving falls under development) is one of the toughest parts of being a coach and I don't think anyone's mastered it at this point. Obviously, the amount you'll focus on one over the other will change as the players get older and become a more refined product, but I don't think there's ever an end.
