Last week I challenged all coaches to sit down and find ways to turn their training drills (boring/zero learning) into training activities (high player engagement and involvement/high learning) in this post.
STEP #1 - SESSION THEME
Without a theme you're not really going to nail any real sustainable outcomes that carry into game day so you really need to start with this. The theme for this specific session is offense.
STEP #2 - THEME INTENTIONS
To break that down even further we also want to introduce some intentions around our them that will be the backbone of the entire session. For this session let's focus on communication, moving the ball into and through space and maintaining possession and control of play when in possession.
Players need to be made aware of these prior to the session via the group chat or at least in the coaches address at the start of the session but the earlier the better so players can clarify anything they need to before training.
STEP #3 - TRAINING ACTIVITY SELECTION
As you have themed the session then you've got to stick with it and avoid dual-themeing as much as you can, especially in this pre-xmas phase which also means keep your themes/intentions pretty simple for now.
STEP #4 - FEEDBACK
Contraints are used in training activities to shape the actions you wan to see but feedback is also a constraint because the players will play to what the coaches instruct them to/direct them towards. When you have a theme with clear intentions then that gives the players specific information to act on and the coaches specific information to coach towards. This means that during an offense-themed session, keep your feedback to the offense side of things, don't go ranting off about defensive principles and stoppage tactics.
After your movement warm up then try this:
