Turning,

Week 3 -Week 4

Definition of the content  Ability to change direction into a new space while keeping control of the ball.

Simple Concepts

• Make as few touches with the ball as possible, while keeping them frequent and fast. 
• Use the arms to maintain balance while protecting ourselves from the defender's action. 
• Use the inside surface of the foot to perform inward turns and the outside surface of the foot to perform outward turns. 
• Combine the use of the inside and outside of the foot in a quick and controlled manner.

Advanced Concepts

• Turn towards the free space
• Make the initial movement to the opposite side of where we want to turn and progress to.
• Raise the head in the final phase of the turn to perceive the game situation.
• As the coach, It is your job to choose from the multiple activities and deliver catering for your groups based on ability levels. Do not try to deliver all activities at once.

EG

Warm Up- Foundational Characters

Main theme-Implement technique (motor skill/move) with stages of pressure

Conditioned game- what game to pick based on the end product & learning outcomes my group can achieve

End game- Identify a moment to teach the restart & bring out the principle of play

In every session

Coaching In the Game (Make two stoppages during the end game to reinforce the learning outcomes below) THIS IS VITAL FOR THE PROGRAM TO PLAYER BE TEACH ON A GAME SCENARIO 

Restart Week 3

• Week 3: Kick off: Make sure players understand the realistic moments when they have to restart on a kick off, Goal Kick, Throw in

   

   Principle of play Week 3

•  Penetration:  Is ability for your team to exploit spaces between and behind them both with and without the ball. For teams in possession to penetrate, it may be a player passing between a two defenders to break lines or playing into the space behind as well. Players should be encouraged to occupy spaces between the defenders to allow them to receive and take out the opponents from the game. Individuals can also penetrate by beating players or traveling with the ball too.

MVP points System

The player MVP system is a staple of the program and one we use to set competition from the start of the session to the finish between each individual

The way the system works every player has 5 MVP points to start, Players can win more points by applying themselves to each activity with full commitment trying their hardest to progress, and being awarded points by the coach

Players can also win points during each activity by scoring the most points for that activity and for that they will pick up 2 MVP points from the coach.

We also use the point system to reinforce good standards like staying in bounds, not bumping into other players, and good behavior. the player can lose their points when these standards are not met. Try to use it as a motivator, not a punishment.

Once the players get used to this system they will become more responsible for their own development
