Batman Training

Session based on having extra room outside on 3G or grass.

Make use of space by setting up progressions of games in separate area's to minimise setup time & waiting within session*if space allows

Assistants to be alert at all times & encourage participation from all players.

Group sizes maybe big so coach needs to be loud, energetic & organised.

Bring players in & ask them which superhero wears a cape...Batman. Let them know they are going to train to become Batmen & Batgirls in this session.

Warm up setup -

Set up an area which is big enough for all players to dribble around comfortably.

One ball per player

Warm up walkthrough - Batman training

Have all players in the middle & explain they need to dress like Batman, simulate putting the outfit on & checking for the cape

Now they have to check the garage, they are all given a Batmobile to drive with

Players start dribbling around the area not clashing into anybody else's Batmobile

Coach to build up the session by adding new parts every couple of minutes

When the coach shouts -

Joker - Players freeze

Charge up the Batmobile - Side to sides

Climb up the buildings in Gotham - Toe taps

Patrol Gotham - Forward Rolls

Coach to add one cone per player & scatter them around the area

Progression -

When the coach shouts 'Find Robin' players have to dribble to an empty cone & stop their ball next to it before continuing to dribble on the coaches command.

Coaching Points -

Close control, small touches, scanning for space/players/empty cones, change direction, use both feet, listening skills, reaction skills

The players Batman training is now complete, they are going off to fight enemies in Gotham City.

Gotham City

Session setup -

Replace small cones with tall cones which can be knocked over

Players still have 1 ball each

Session walkthrough -

Players are now in Gotham City which is under attack from the Joker who is trying to destroy all the buildings & Batman/Batgirl must save Gotham.

The coaches will act as the Jokers to start off with

The coaches will dribble around, knocking the tall cones over with their footballs

The players have to dribble around to knocked over cones, stop their ball next to it & place it back upright properly (saving the building)

After a few minutes let the players win & all buildings are successful still upright

Progression

Split players into 2 teams now - Batmen/Batgirls v Jokers

One team have to knock as many cones down as possible, the other team have to dribble & place them upright

Team with most cones down/upwards at the end of the time are he winners

Rotate team so all players get to be both character's.

*if needed for time purposes coaches can act as Jokers again & players kick the ball at them to chase them out of Gotham

Coaching Points from previous part of the session recapped, further coaching points to add -

Teamwork, communication, stopping the ball

Players will be ready to move into games, keeping the theme going with Batman related team names will help the players to continue their motivation/fun.
