Session 1: Handling and Introduction to Unit Plays

Objectives:

    Introduction: Sit down with the players and discuss the pre-season aims, discuss the player contract and gain the committment to the schedule. This is important for the first session. Hand out the Strategy Document / Play Book.

    Philosophy: How your team are going to play the game and the coaching team's expectations of the players.

    Options Plays: Every team needs a platform to play the game from any position on the field. We will introduce 6 option plays over the coming weeks that all the players will understand and can use wherever they are on the pitch.

    Positional Skills Sessions ('PSS'): We will encourage the development of your players' key positional skills within every session. These are a key element of your input into your players and this needs to be communicated and included in every session.
