|
|
|
Devise
several games/drills that increase one’s fitness level |

skipping ropes are a great idea |
| Run
length of court and pitter/patter 20 times on each third |
| Play
tag in the circle but hopping only
|
| Zig
Zag around each other whilst running around the outline of the court
|
| Younger
ones can play Pac Man using the court outlines |
| BALL
PASSING DRILLS |

& down the court passing the ball, without stepping & using good
passes |
|
Up
& down the court, with 3 players, doing a figure eight. |
 |
ONE
ON ONE |
| quick
decisive passes whilst the catcher pitter/patters |
| -
close passes that make the catcher stretch with moving only one foot |
|
| TEAM
WORK DRILLS |
| Two
lines - one attack & one defence – breaking towards a thrower using
different types of defence or breaking |
| |
| Do
Circle Work – teaching both attacks & defence |
| Practice
full length plays on the court eg backline throw ins |
|
 |
HINTS |
| ALWAYS
come with a training plan and be decisive – the players do appreciate it |
| ENSURE
that all players stretch properly – it can save injuries |
|
| WATCH
other coaches and use their drills or ideas – it doesn’t hurt anyone |
|
| BE
ON TIME – try to arrive before the players whenever possible |
| Don’t let the
players hang around talking – they do get bored easily |
| It is sometimes
easier to work on one area at a training session eg attacking |
|
| If
players become unsettled , call for a 5 min ‘social’ break (usually at
half-time) |
