The Philosophy of Skill Development

SKILL DEVELOPMENT IS EQUAL PARTS OFFENCE AND CREATIVITY

Here is a good teaching sequence to follow:

  • Name the skill and describe it
  • Tell why it’s important and when it’s used. Highlight the key teaching points (key words or phrases used in instructing and giving feedback to your players)

( Can be skipped if the drill is being done regularly )

  • Demonstrate
  • State key points again
  • Get players to practice the skill right away
  • Get everyone involved
  • Move around to each player
  • Give individual feedback
  • Get assistants to help
