Restart Week 3
This week we will focus on restarts Indirect kicks explain the rules and how this work
Principle of play Week 3 - Penetration
The focus this week will be timing of penetration weather pass, run or dribble
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
