A routine to feel more comfortable on the blue to black area. You will also practise some shots to the centre pockets, which can save our breaks many times; don't underestimate them. This can also be a good warmup for higher level players to start a training session.

Once you can keep your concentration for 9 balls, try harder and go for the 15. Try not to disturb the balls so that they don't end tight to a cushion or far from the rest. Don't get careless on the positioning, specially when you get to the last 5 balls and have a decent chance to clear up.

This gets tricky. If you can dish from this setup, you'll be doing 100+ breaks in practice and approaching the century in matches. You might want to start with the reds on the vertical axis and combinate with blue (as shown below) to get you arm going or go with the lower ones and try to free the pink so you have more choices.
