Staying Organized As a Coach Ch. 7: Planning for Teaching
Before the season begins • Practice/Game Schedule • Busing information • Player Expectations • Facilities request • Checking/purchasing equipment • Hiring coaches • Create a season plan…
Creating a season plan • Establish Goals • Identify Skills For Each Goal • Organizing the subject matter for instruction • Evaluating Skills • Plan Practices
Step 1: Establishing Goals General statements of what to you want your players to be able to do • Physical: training athletes (weights, nutrition, etc.) • Mental: preparing psychologically before practice and games • Moral: sportsmanship and other responsibilities • Technique: performing skills • Tactical: knowing when to use techniques (skills) • Legal: rules and officiating procedures
Step 1: Establishing GoalsGeneral statements of what to you want your players to be able to do • Create 2 goals for your sports team • The goals need to be different components • Choose 2 different ones out of the 6 options • Identify what type of goal it is ***Remember to be general*** Examples are on page 62
Step 2: Identify Skills For Each Goal • Breaking down the goals you set out for your team into smaller components • Techniques and tactics tend to be the easier goals to break down • Gather information from other resources or past seasons to break down goals • Answer the question: What is essential for my athletes to know in order to compete in a game/contest successfully?
Step 2: Identify Skills For Each Goal • Break down the goals you created for your team. • Be specific (goal #1 on page 63) • This is will help you develop your practice plans • Details are key!
Step 3: Organizing the subject matter for instruction • Teach the basic skills first • Teach the skills your players need to compete in their first contest/ game first. • How much time will you spend on the skills? • What skills will be taught first? • What levels will focus on the skills more than others?
Step 3: Organizing the subject matter for instruction • Goal #2 • In the order of when you would teach the skills from first day of practice • Goal #1 • In the order of when you would teach the skills from first day of practice Using the skills you wrote down for your teams goals, rank when you would teach the skills
Step 4: Evaluating Skills • “Good teaching requires that you individualize instruction.” • Evaluate players skills and knowledge to help decide: • positions • roles • how to move forward with your coaching • You as the coach need to be knowledgeable of proper technique and skill in order to evaluate properly
Step 4: Evaluating Skills • What are 5 different ways you can effectively evaluate your teams knowledge and skills for the goals you set out for them? • Explain in detail the process you would take in order to decide positions, roles, playing time, etc. when evaluating your players.
Step 5: Plan Practices • Using a preseason evaluation will help you plan your practices, especially first week of practice. • May need to go back to steps 2 & 3 and modify based on results of evaluation • ALWAYS PLAN AHEAD, adjust if needed to
Step 5: Plan PracticesThe basic elements of a practice plan • Teaching and practice of new skills • Practice under competitive conditions • Cool down • Coach’s comments/feedback • Reminders • Organization • Date • Practice objectives (step #3) • Equipment needed • Practice Activities • Warm-up • Practice of previously taught skills
Step 5: Plan Practice • Create one practice lasting 2 hours • Be sure all components of the practice plan are present (previous slide/handout pages 67-69) • If you need to look up drills, do so. Don’t just make something up with a name.
