Teaching Objectives • Proper technique • Speed of thought • Speed of action
Plan the Session • Start and finish time • Know what you want to teach • Have equipment ready • Create variety Include a skill from each category Vary drills - line, triangle, circle, square, diagonal • Include fun or conditioned games
Warm up – with ball Stretching Skill revision Demonstrate a new skill Practise skill unopposed Practise under pressure Drills to emphasise skill Conditioned game Small sided game Cool down Suggested Coaching Session
Teaching a New Skill • Describe – key points, how skill is used in a match • Demonstrate - normal speed →slow motion →normal speed • Practise with drill – keep it simple and easy • Positive feedback – give encouragement • Fun game – opportunityto experimentwith skill • Homework – practise at home
Teaching Skills to Young Children • Step by step • Remember - the first step onto a ladder is the ground • Remember - Feet, Hands, Head • Left and Right side • Unopposed →Under Pressure →Token opposition →Opposition • Increase the Pressure – against the clock (stopwatch) Seek improvement - not perfection
Speed of Thought and Action Challenge players to step out of their comfort zone: • Impose time limits • Give targets and goals – most in a minute etc • Reduce space • Introduce opposition • Promote automatic reactions by reducing time to react
Be Ready for Action • Stay alert • On balls of feet • Ready to pounce • Core stability – tight midriff • Head up and eyes scanning • Controlled breathing
Principles of Attack • Keep your eye on the ball • When possession is won, move into space and release ball quickly • If in support, create space and options for the player in possession • When possession is lost, close down opposition immediately
Principles of Defence • Stay alert – concentrate on the game and be aware where your opponent is • Be ready to attack the loose ball • If your opponent gets possession – close him down immediately • Be decisive when tackling • When possession is won, counter attack quickly

Tips for Conditioned Games • Keep games short and appropriate to age (young children have loads of energy but little stamina and tire easily) • Concentrate on the skill you are teaching • Allocate general positions i.e. goal, forward, back • Rotate positions • Young children tend to flock – small flocks are easier to handle: 2 x (4 v 4) may be better than 1 x (8 v 8) • Introduce competition – Mini All Ireland
